Emphasising the point of this goal actually really helps explain how it got that name, like if youve ever seen a dog when they first get up to run towards you? That one stretch they do as they get up honestly looks so good on the spine us humans NEED it
So good at explaining the mechanics! Just a few days after finding your videos I’m noticing improvements in my practice, and I’ve been doing yoga for 11 years!
Update: the big improvement in my forward bends is continuing since focusing on the pelvic rotation. Very happy to have stumbled on this video and channel.
I never do downdog without a warm up. And I'm flexible, very flexible. I don't understand why, we have to do this position without one, and why beginners aren't given an options.
I found the perfect TH-cam video for its subject matter. bravo! I’m personally grateful for the specificity of the verbal explanations so I don’t feel like I missed out on anything.
You are such a wonderful teacher. I can only imagine what your students are able to acheive when they receive in person training from you. Thanks again for another great explanation. You make all of these poses seem so accessible.
Wow! Thank you for this explanation! I have never understood this stretch because I cannot touch my heels to the ground. I’m going to try your moves and see if it helps me get the correct stretch!
Aaaaaah, THANK YOU Leggings!! Always, in yoga they say “...as you inhale, press your thumb n forefinger into the mat...(I may be paraphrasing here, cause I’m lost in The Zone)..and on the exhale (here’s my point) lift your sits bones to the sky” This is when I think...lift my sits bones?!!....but....my feet, and gravity...! Thank you Leggings for telling it straight. Pelvic tilt, like puppy, got it. I’d subscribe again if I could.
Love the instructions, actually never seen or even heard anyone explain this, though I've done it the way you say isn't the goal of this pose, and it has actually helped me a lot. My body is now really straight compared to before, when I had too much anterior pelvic in neutral standing position, and my entire body feels way better, so I think it's good to mention it isn't exactly bad to do it with heels completely down, unless it has some very bad effect in the long run that I don't know of. But keep being awesome, you are bringing up things rarely anyone talks about, which is great! 😊
On and off yogi here(yea just lazy i know...) after having spent hundreds of hours practicing andnconsuming even more.... i hadn't realised this Thank you as always, you're a godsend
have to say you are fantastic, the way you explain the science behind poses and various stretches really helps. I ended up finding my lower back would really stiffen up during yoga, mostly because of downward dog lol, nobody online is giving technique explanations as good as yours
You can’t really say what’s wrong or right while doing down dog. It depends. In Ashtanga, you normally want to do the opposite, but again, it all depends! Listen to your body and do your down dog in a way that feels right for you. The only thing I agree with is that you shouldn’t focus on touching your heels to the ground, unless it feels right. Focus more on your shoulder alignment making sure you pull your shoulders away from your ears. Namaste 🙏
Interesting! Also very cute like the nurse explaining how your catheter works without embarrassment. I had no idea that was the focus. Based on your video I can see where that would be a benefit. 😉
Am so glad you pointed this out. I remember when I first became interested in starting yoga i did an in person class and i just knew people were giving me weird looks because I couldn't touch my hills to the floor.
Thanks a lot my love I started all your stretching routine last week and it turned out to ease me stiffness in my hamstring, and tightness of my hip flexors... and I more thing... I can do the happy baby poses with my hips spread wide open 😄 I'm feeling super flexible 😊
Unfortunately this is also a way for some people to develop proximal hamstring tendinopathy, or the dreaded "yoga butt", as I learned the hard way.😭If you know you're hypermobile, consider being cautious about how much you anteriorly tilt your pelvis.🙏She sure looks great doing it though. Beautiful💙
I believe bending the knees, is a good option if your heel don't touch the floor. But I know I would have injuries if all my foot ain't touching the floor in this position. This is not the first I heard teachers it's ok. In my opinion, it's not. For all the stress you would put on your joints, and on how you missed out with an inproper downdog.
That's why my back never feels stretched. I swear I have only felt it once or twice and always thought I was doing it wrong or just had really flexible back and hamstrings... Apparently all the above. Especially the wrong part.
I feel both enlightened and entertained.
I feel like I have ass in my face.

Your smile and energy 😊🤗😊🤗😊
I’ve been going to yoga classes for about 5 years, this is the best explanation I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
The way you explain poses and the cues you give are PHENOMENAL. I am so happy I found your channel!
This was SO helpful as I’ve never been able to really get the hang of this pose before
Here this whole time, I thought we were supposed to be stretching calfs with this pose. 😁
Me too lol
Me too 😂
me too ?
Me too
me too, me too
Possibly the greatest explanation of this I've ever heard. So glad this randomly popped up this morning, looking forward to watching more from you

Her voice is very soothing.😊
Very helpful!!! I typically avoid downdog for this very reason - this feels soooo much better with that anterior tilt! You're a life saver!
I never do downdog without a warm up. And I'm flexible, very flexible.
I don't understand why, we have to do this position without one, and why beginners aren't given an options.
Love that "tadaaa" 💕
You explain so beautifully with simplicity, love it!
Your positivity is contagious
I found the perfect TH-cam video for its subject matter. bravo! I’m personally grateful for the specificity of the verbal explanations so I don’t feel like I missed out on anything.
So glad you really talk about hamstrings. That is key for everyone
Ta-daa 🤩🤩🤩 your videos are the best … !!
This is so helpful, I feel like this is 'basic' so gets overlooked. Much appreciated ❤
Love your enthusiasm, guidance, and accent!
I never heard this explanation before and have been doing the move for years. Thanks for the information on this technique.

Love the socks😊
Thanks, that was so short, simple and brilliant!
So helpful and it makes a difference to my downward dog! I love how you can explain so clearly. Good work!
Aaaaaah, THANK YOU Leggings!!

Thank you. Doing yoga for two years and just got taught how to do this pose. Feels great and keep going with the tips. xx
Thank you for this wonderful explanation! ❤
She’s being ‘cheeky’. I like her 😉
I am so grateful I found you.
Thank youuu ❤
Love the socks
And learning so many little tips from you

Wonderful! Thankyou for this! ❤
Liv, Liv, Liv, please, please incorporate this into a video so I can share it with my daughter. Thanks for your channel!
Oh my gosh you’re AMAZING at teaching this. And your voice is crazy amazing to listen to!
This is the first time I've ever heard this. Thank you. Makes so much sense.
I love the way you explain things. This makes so much sense. Thanks😊🧘♀️
This is super helpful! Thank you!
I’ve been doing yoga years and never understood this fully until watching this so thanks so much!❤
Yes I was so frustrated that I couldn't put my heels down (and to straighten my knees) doing this, now I know it is not necessary
Interesting! Also very cute like the nurse explaining how your catheter works without embarrassment. I had no idea that was the focus. Based on your video I can see where that would be a benefit. 😉
Am so glad you pointed this out. I remember when I first became interested in starting yoga i did an in person class and i just knew people were giving me weird looks because I couldn't touch my hills to the floor.
Perfect I’m not flexible at all and I’m trying to get into yoga. Thanks for the tips!
Have you done a hard 90 min yoga session yet?
Thank you for the great explanation!
Wow, just tried it and what a difference. Thank you 😊
i love your way of explaining
Im really glad i found this channel!!!
I'm not saying that in a weird way, I'm 35 and my body is getting tight, I appreciate the information
Excellent advise
What an entertaining view!! Absolutely stunning!!!
Subscribed! ❤ the indepth explanation and I've been trying to stretch both. I will focus on the hamstrings from now on. Thanks!
Very good, all your videos have great, practical info and are delivered in an accessible way with humility. Well Done!
I have problems in that area for years, and i never could do that exercise, i will try this way, thank you.
Thank you for the explanation
It's really good to know ❤💕
Thank you
She knows what she's doing
I've never heard this explained so well. THANK YOU!!
I thought I'd never get this super common pose down...
Thanks a lot my love
I started all your stretching routine last week and it turned out to ease me stiffness in my hamstring, and tightness of my hip flexors... and I more thing... I can do the happy baby poses with my hips spread wide open 😄
I'm feeling super flexible 😊
Thank you! This is incredibly helpful- I always find down dog so uncomfortable
Glad it was helpful!
Always to the point!
Thank you so much. Super helpful. 👌
Wow I finally understand the purpose of this pose now. Great explanation thnkq❤
Unfortunately this is also a way for some people to develop proximal hamstring tendinopathy, or the dreaded "yoga butt", as I learned the hard way.😭If you know you're hypermobile, consider being cautious about how much you anteriorly tilt your pelvis.🙏She sure looks great doing it though. Beautiful💙
Yep, she has a video warning about yoga butt. You don't want to just do stretching you also need to strengthen.
I believe bending the knees, is a good option if your heel don't touch the floor.
But I know I would have injuries if all my foot ain't touching the floor in this position.
This is not the first I heard teachers it's ok.
In my opinion, it's not. For all the stress you would put on your joints, and on how you missed out with an inproper downdog.
I cannot stop watching this exercise. Someone help me please.
Your videos are really helpful
That's why my back never feels stretched. I swear I have only felt it once or twice and always thought I was doing it wrong or just had really flexible back and hamstrings...
Apparently all the above. Especially the wrong part.
