Yoga Dog Stretch Relieves Spinal Pressure

Dog Stretch

According to the Sanskrit translation, this action is a dog stretching face down.

Action decomposition:

Arch your body into an inverted "v", straighten your hands on the front side of your body, fingers forward, and pressing your shoulders downward; straighten your legs and press your heels against the ground.

This action evenly distributes the body's weight on the hands and feet, relieving pressure on the spine, and also increasing the strength of the thighs and calves muscles, as well as the elasticity of the shoulders.

King Pigeon Style

The side is shaped like a dove looking for food, with the upper body and head twisted.

Action decomposition:

1. Fold your left leg back to the base of your thigh, point your right leg to the back of your body, then retract your calf and buckle your hands over the top of your head.

2. Bend your body to the right and move your arms closer to your right foot. Turning your face to the left will fully stretch the left side of your waist and reduce fat. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
