Asana: Your Physical Practice

In exploration of asana (our physical practice experienced through yoga postures/poses), we are able to invite the advantages of proper alignment and depth to engagement into the practice.  Within the member portal, you have access to a library of asanas/postures that have been broken down with alignment and engagement aspects highlighted for the learning yogi in us all.

Three Legged Dog  /  Eka Pada Adho Mukha Shvanasana

  • Three Legged Dog is a closed-hip posture
  • Create a "V" shape with the body, positioning the ears between the biceps
  • The sits bones reach actively skyward, lengthening the spine
  • A bend in the knees is encouraged and will assist in activating the muscles
  • Actively wrap the triceps in towards the face, feeling the muscles of the arms fire up
  • Fingers are spread wide on the mat while the entire palm plants firmly down
  • Left one leg while maintaining the same positioning, merely hinging at the hip while maintaining an active leg driving the heel towards the wall behind you
