Downward Facing Dog also comes with a huge list of physical benefits including: strengthening the arms and legs, in addition to stretching the shoulders, hamstrings, and calves. This foundational yoga pose is perfect for strengthening and preparing the body for more advanced poses. Downward Dog also helps you learn about the inner workings of your own body: where your tightness and tension lie, and where you need to correct any imbalances.
