This week’s pose: Upward Facing Dog (alternatives are cobra or sphinx poses)

Upward dog is a common backbend in the vinyasa practice. Though we often flow through this pose quickly, it has so much to offer. Here’s what Inspire Yoga Teacher, Erika had to say about it… “I love upward facing dog because it is usually the first heart-opener that I encounter in a yoga class. It challenges and strengthens my core and upper body while allowing the chest and front body to expand. It’s an all-in-one pose that is powerful, energizing, and refreshing throughout the entire class.”

This week, take an extra breath or a moments pause in your up dog and really feel it! Soak up all the goodness that the pose has to offer and share your experience with us!

We can’t wait to see your pictures!
