Strike a Yoga Pose: Three-Legged Dog

Downward Facing Dog pose is a total body pose that’s great for stretching out your shoulders, lower back, hamstrings, and calves. It can be really difficult at first, but since it’s a pose that’s done the most often during a course, you can build your upper body strength fast, so it becomes more of a relaxing pose. To prepare it more challenging, try that fun variation called Three-Legged Dog. It will open your hips and work on your balancing abilities.
