Downward Facing Dog is one of the most recognisable poses in yoga, yet many people find it uncomfortable, unstable, or confusing.
In this workshop we’ll explore the mechanics of the pose and how small adjustments can completely change how it feels in the body.
Rather than chasing a “perfect” shape, we’ll focus on creating support, strength, and space.
Together we’ll look at:
* how the hands and arms support the shoulders
* how to lengthen the spine without straining the hamstrings
* how stance width affects stability
* common mistakes and how to adjust them
* variations that make the pose more accessible
Through guided exploration, movement, and practical alignment tips, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how to adapt Downward Facing Dog for your body.
This workshop is suitable for anyone who practises yoga — whether you’re new to the pose or looking to refine your technique.
Come curious, and leave with a Downward Dog that feels stronger, lighter, and more supportive.
