    Welcome to the November #YogaWithTFM 10-Day Challenge!

    Welcome to the November #YogaWithTFM 10-Day Challenge! Today’s pose is Upward-Facing Dog or Urdhva Mukha Svanasana.Day1 IG

    See the video below for a tutorial on how to get into Upward-Facing Dog, and keep in mind these three tips:

    -When in doubt about hand placement and general alignment for Upward Facing Dog, start out in plank pose (top of a push-up).  Align your shoulders over your wrists, keep your elbows pinned to your sides, and lower half way into a tricep (chaturanga) push-up.  Roll over your toes, and straighten your arms for upward facing dog.

    -Only the palms of your hands and the tops of your feet should touch the mat in upward facing dog.  Keep your thighs lifted!

    -Roll your shoulders down and away from your ears.
