Beginner Yoga Challenge: Three Legged Dog Pose

Performed by Marin Jayden

Benefits of the Three Legged Dog Pose: This pose creates a full body stretch. It increases blood flow and energizes the body as well as relieve the mind from stress or headaches.

Starting in Downward Dog, lift your left hand and reach it behind your right thigh.
As you inhale and exhale, work your hand down your right leg, getting as close to the floor as possible.
Turn your gaze to under your right arm (but do not strain your neck).

Modifications: If this pose is difficult at first, you can shorten the starting distance between your hands and feet, or you can bend your knees.
