Asana tip sheet #8 – Adho mukha svanasana

September 10, 2014 By Rupali Embry 5 Comments

Rupali rocks dog.

Downward-facing dog…just about everyone has an opinion about how it should be done! Just to be clear…this is OUR take on this pose coming from an Ashtanga perspective. If you study yoga within another tradition, such as Iyengar Yoga, then your stance might be longer than what’s shown here. There might also be other little […]

Ardha Matsyendrasana study sheet

Twists are wonderful for calming the nervous system and Ardha matsyendrasana (King of the Fish) is an especially elegant one. Keep the eyes steadily gazing out the far corners of both eyes and you’ll get an eyeball stretch too. (Be sure to download the pdf of this tip sheet at the bottom of this post.) […]
