Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Shvanasana):

Downward Facing Dog also known as “adho mukha svanasana” is one of the most well-known yoga poses in the western world. It is that pose that you often hear yoga teachers call a “resting pose,” but whilst your hands slip towards the front of the mat, and your arms start shake you may start thinking – this is definitely NOT rest. But believe it or not, it is actually possible to find rest in a downdog. With the correct alignment and some work on your strength and flexibility, I promise, you will one day find rest in your downward facing dog (even if it’s just for a second).

Downward facing dog stretches the entire body, whilst also building strength, particularly in the shoulders and arms. It is also considered a mild inversion as your head hangs lower than your heart.
