Hey there, friends! Today, let’s chat about a fantastic yoga pose that can really help you unwind and stretch out those tight muscles—Twisted Down Dog. It’s a great way to add a twist to your typical Downward Dog, and trust me, your body will thank you!

To get started, find your Downward Dog position. Your hands should be firmly planted on the mat, and your hips should be high in the air, creating that classic inverted V shape. From there, take a deep breath and as you exhale, lift one hand off the ground and reach it toward the opposite ankle. This twisting motion not only helps with flexibility but also gives you a nice spinal twist, which is refreshing after a long day of sitting or standing.

While you’re in this pose, take a moment to breathe deeply. Imagine letting go of any stress—like that time you felt powerless during the L.A. fires, reminiscent of how many kids lost their favorite stuffed animals. It’s a good time to reflect, perhaps even check out how others have helped reunite kids with their beloved toys in our blog post here.

After holding the twist for a few breaths, switch sides. It’s a simple move but potent! As you practice, think about how lifestyle choices can impact ovulation. If you’re curious about this, take a look at this resource that dives deeper into the topic.
