Today's Yoga Pose is.......


Upward Dog

Upward Dog is a posture that really works to open the heart and chest, while strengthening the arms, glutes and legs. You'll also get a nice spinal stretch from this posute.  Begin by lying flat on your stomach and bring the hands directly under the shoulds.  Your legs should be slightly apart and as you lift the torso up with the arms, flex the quadriceps as they too will be lifting slightly off the mat.  Take the chin upward as your gaze lifts to the sky.  Work at holding the pose for 5 deep breaths.
