Name: The Downwards Dog 1 (Adho Mukha Svanasana)
Description: This posture imitates a dog stretching downwards but adds a greater stretch to the supporting leg as well as strengthening the arms and shoulders more
Note: try not to twist the body; keep the lifted leg in line with the hip and do not drop one shoulder more than the other
