"This pose is important to do for the spine because it creates opening in the chest and shoulders," Jerrelle Wilson, E-RYT 500, told POPSUGAR. Wilson said there is no one specific way to do Downward Facing Dog, and he recommends playing with shoulder variations and chest placement. You can hold this pose with bent knees or with your legs fully lengthened, and you can also tuck your hips under your body or not, he said. "My biggest tip for Down Dog is to play around with it. Don't become rigid with how it's supposed to look rather than explore how it can make the body and spine feel." Wilson advises to do this pose every day, multiple times a day.
