Yoga Posture - Downward Facing Dog Pose

TRANSITION:  Usually, from the cobra posture... Just put the balls of your feet into the mat and push that caboose in the air!

Hold for 10-20 seconds...  Focus on making that V -- straight back and straight legs.  Work on pushing your hips back and getting your feet flat on the ground.  Be sure to not drop your head (which is the natural thing to do).  Keep your head in line with your arms.

For the record, my cat, Tigger, says that dogs are foolish and vacant and could not begin to appreciate the transcendental benefits of yoga.  They do not deserve to have postures named after them.  I'm just passing that along.
