Asana tip sheet #8 – Adho mukha svanasana

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.

Painful, tender wrists? Try these wrist strengtheners!

Tania and RupaliWhat people are saying about Tania and Rupali...

"I want to let you know how much I appreciate your tip sheet of Salabhasana. This pose (and its variations) is exactly what I am focusing on in my class where many business people suffer from back and neck pains, and some from sciatica. I made a program for their home practices and so far it works for them. Your Salabhasana tip sheet endorsed what I have tried, and it encouraged me a lot. Thank you so much!!" ~ Takae
