So I’m pretty sure you’ve noticed a quite shift in posts. As we move into summer things will be shifting a little bit and Glam & Fit posts will be on Wednesdays for the time being! The complete schedule change will be explained more in a future newsletter, but lets get into this week’s G&F post.
With that being said, I thought we’d spend the next few weeks breaking down some of my personal favorite and key yoga moves… hence the “Glam & Fit Decoded” title. To get this thing rolling we’re starting with a yoga must and a move in my list of top three… Downward Facing Dog!
The great thing about this pose is that it’s not only a stretching pose, but a strengthening pose, a transitional pose, a resting pose and an inversion pose. This is like the HG of HG yoga poses… if that makes sense.
While in the pose, your body looks like an upside down V with your hands placed shoulder width apart and your feet hip width apart. You should always be pushing away from the ground and this is a great place to rest or alternate bending each leg to help further loosen up the body.
Of course we have to talk about the benefits! These can include a decrease in back pain, stronger hands, wrists, lower back, hamstrings and calves; a decrease in tension and headaches, decreased anxiety and deepened respiration and increased body circulation. All in all this pose is the business! Check out a beginner friendly yoga routine below!
