Why do yoga teachers take you to Downward Dog Pose every class?
If you do downward facing dog every day, you will:
01
The leg shape is getting more and more beautiful
Many girls are worried about their thick calves, in fact, because the muscles behind the thighs are too tight!
Downward Facing Dog opens up the muscles behind your legs to beautify and define your legs. For those of you who often practice the dog style, you may often hear people compliment "your legs are so well-proportioned"!
Standing, walking, and running every day will cause the muscles behind the thighs to become tight, and then form chronic hamstring tendons and calf muscles, so it is very effective to practice more dog pose and beautify the leg line.
02
The figure is getting taller and taller
Downward Facing Dog is the most effective asana for lengthening the spine in yoga asana practice.
When you practice, it will help you gently adjust your spine so that it slowly becomes normal. Downward Facing Dog is also a relief for people with neck and shoulder pain.
The spine is corrected, and naturally the person appears upright.
03
Tighten your arms and say goodbye to meat
Downward Facing Dog has a noticeable effect on strength training in the upper body, especially in the arms.
When all the traction is down, if done right, the whole arm will be worked, the muscles will gradually tighten, and your yoga practice will be more durable.
04
Strengthens the chest
Nowadays, most of us sit in a chair all day long, and our chest muscles are very tight, and notice that this is not firm. Most of the main reasons for this are due to poor sitting posture.
Downward Facing Dog works by restretching your chest muscles and building up the strength you need for the rest of your body. In addition, practicing Downward Dog Pose is also accumulating the necessary strength for you to practice high-level yoga asanas.
In addition to this, downward facing facing will also allow you to:
1. Prevent and improve frozen shoulder and stretch the spine
2. Relax the brain and relieve physical fatigue
3. Anti-gravity, delay the sagging of facial skin and internal organs.
