The surprising complexity of something seemingly simple is just one added benefit of a yoga practice. Beloved teacher Caley Alyssa breaks down Upward-Facing Dog for us here. A common pose that’s ubiquitous in modern Vinyasa and Hatha classes, Upward-Facing Dog is a deceptively difficult shoulder and chest strengthener. Keeping the legs lifted can be challenging—keep a blanket under the thighs in order to keep from collapsing in the low back. Similarly, place blocks under the palms to keep from hunching the shoulders.
