Downward Facing Dog

Start on your hands and knees, with your hands shoulder-width apart, your wrists underneath your shoulders, and your knees underneath your hips.
Tuck your toes under your heels and lift your hips into an upside down V-shape. Think about pressing the mat away from you as you shift your weight into your legs.
Press your heels down toward the mat but not necessarily touching the mat if you don't have the flexibility. A slight bend in the knees will help with tight hamstrings and hips.
Keep your gaze between your ankles toward the back of the mat. Hold for five inhales and exhales.
