Yoga Pose Video Tutorial for Upward Facing Dog
Urdhva Mukha Svanasana
Because Upward Facing Dog is a staple of Vinyasa Yoga practice, it’s important to get it right. Many Vinyasa classes move very quickly through asanas, creating lots of potential for sloppy practice. There are many ways to do this yoga pose incorrectly, leading to possible injuries in the shoulders and back. It’s important to build a strong foundation in healthy alignment so that even if you’re moving quickly through the yoga posture, the effect will be to create strength rather than to cause injury.
