Masterclass: Downward Facing Dog (75 mins)

Downward Dog Masterclass

Downward Dog looks simple — but it’s one of the most misunderstood (and misused) poses in yoga.

In this focused masterclass, we’ll break Adho Mukha Svanasana down step by step so you can actually feel its benefits: strength, length, stability, and ease — without wrist, shoulder, or lower-back strain.

What we’ll cover:

  • Clear alignment for hands, shoulders, spine, and hips

  • How to adapt Downward Dog for tight hamstrings, stiff shoulders, or sensitive wrists

  • When to bend the knees (yes, it’s allowed) and why

  • Building strength through the pose, not collapsing into it

  • Common mistakes — and how to fix them instantly

  • Smart variations and prop use for different bodies and practices

Whether Downward Dog feels like a rest, a struggle, or something you tolerate because it’s everywhere — this class will help you understand it, refine it, and use it with intention.

Perfect for:

  • Yoga students who want better form and fewer aches

  • Teachers looking to sharpen cues and hands-on understanding

  • Anyone who wants Downward Dog to feel supportive, not punishing

Expect practical teaching, clear takeaways, and plenty of time to feel the difference in your body.
