HAMSTRINGS

Downward Dog

BeginnerBodyweight

A foundational yoga pose that doubles as a full-body stretch, opening up the hamstrings, calves, and shoulders while asking the arms and core to hold the shape. Pressing back into the inverted V lengthens the whole backside of the body. It's a versatile addition to warm-ups and cooldowns in a strength routine.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Start in a plank with your hands under your shoulders and body in a straight line.

  2. 2

    Lift your hips up and back, keeping your arms and legs straight, driving your chest toward your thighs.

  3. 3

    Press your heels down toward the floor to deepen the stretch through your hamstrings and calves.

  4. 4

    Keep your spine long and your head relaxed between your arms.

  5. 5

    Hold the position for 15 to 30 seconds, breathing steadily.
