• The taller of the 2 partners bends over into downward dog; keeping in mind straight legs, hands and feet shoulder width apart, and shoulders as close to the mat as possible.
• The shorter partner then places their feet between the taller partner's hands and lays back over their partner.
• Hold this pose for 5 breaths.

Health Benefits:

The downward dog helps strengthen shoulders, upper back and thighs; while stretching the calves, hamstrings, and buttocks. This pose opens the chest area to increase breath capacity and increases blood flow to the brain, helping to clear the mind.

Keep in Mind:

When laying over, make sure your primary weight is on the hips and legs of your partner, and not on the back or arms.

If you have high blood pressure or history of stroke, please consult a physician before performing this asana.
