We're going to present to you ardha adho mukha shvanasana, which is half downward facing
dog. Downward facing dog is a very valuable pose to your practice, but if you have some
kind of shoulder issues, some kind of wrist issues, it's not always going to be available
to your body. But we still want to gain the benefit, so we're going to take a little treat
right here. We're going to inhale up into table. So we know that downward facing dog
needs to have the tailbone sticking up to the sky. What she's going to do without moving
her shoulders, is she's going to extend her arm as far forward as they'll go. And then
begin to sit back into the hips, lifting the tailbone, performing downward facing dog on
the mat, or puppy. The things that you can do for an assist is you can stand right here,
and put your weight into her hips to stretch her back. It's going to get length. The other
thing you can do as a team, if you interlace your fingers Jennifer, and holds my ankle,
I'm going to be able to lengthen her away as I push.
