For Izabel Goulart, this is her favourite way to end the day. This enhanced ‘downward facing dog’ is one of the most basic and widely known of yoga poses, the most notable benefits of which include:
- Stronger hands, wrists, low-back, hamstrings, calves and Achilles tendon
- Decrease in back pain by strengthening the entire back and shoulder girdle
- Elongated shoulders and shoulder-blade area
- Decrease in tension and headaches by elongating the cervical spine and neck and relaxing the head
- Deepened respiration
- Decreased anxiety
- Increased full-body circulation
