Beginners Yoga - Moving on from Dog Head Down Pose. If you have been doing yoga for a little while, you will know the importance of Adho Mukha Svanasana, Sometimes known as Dog Head Down, or Dog Pose, this is a safe and manageable introduction to inversions (upside down poses) in yoga. It helps improve shoulder, ankle and wrist strength and mobility, abdominal and leg strength and it opens the hamstrings and calf muscles. It is also good for cardiovascular health, although if you have a heart problem, you should be practising yoga under the supervision of a qualified Iyengar yoga teacher who can guide you into the correct way of working.

This is an Iyengar Yoga Sequence for Beginners. Many of us have stiff hamstrings and this can cause problems and stiffness in the lower back as well as general back pain. This poses will help to ease the tightness in the hamstrings and help you understand the action required in forward bends. @Yoga with Lin and Leo
