A wonderful alternative to Downward Facing Dog Pose, this pose utilizes the strength of the forearms, instead of the wrists. It is a semi inversion pose that directs the flow of the blood towards the head, strengthening the upper body and increasing our ability to concentrate and remain calm.

Dolphin Plank Pose (Makara Adho Mukha Svanasana)
Dolphin Plank Pose works on the entire body, toning and strengthening our arms, legs, and core muscles. It prepares us for advanced yoga asanas, especially the Dolphin Pose.
Cow Pose (Bitilasana)
Cow Pose is often practiced as the counter-pose of the Cat Pose. These two poses work towards gently loosening up the spine and releasing tension in the neck and shoulders areas.
Corpse Pose (Savasana)
While practicing the Corpse Pose (Savasana), the idea is to imitate the stillness of a corpse while keeping your mind fully conscious. This kind of conscious relaxation revives both, the body and mind, although, we realize it’s harder to keep the mind still as compared to your body.
Bound Angle Pose (Baddha Konasana)
A grounding pose that works toward activating the Mooladhara or the Root Chakra. Baddha Konasana (Baddhakoṇāsana) is an effective hip-opening asana that stimulates the pelvic region along with the spine, hamstrings, knees, and ankles.
