Hunden Downwardfacing Dog increases circulation of both blood and lymph systems, nourishing and revitalizing cells throughout the whole body while clearing out old waste products. The pose also expands the chest and strengthens the lungs for better respiratory function. As it releases the tightness of the muscles that run along the back of the legs it also eases pressure on the sciatic nerve and prevents sciatic pains. Downwardfacing Dog gently builds muscles in the shoulders, arms, and abdominal region, as well as along the back and down the thighs and calves. In addition, the pose stretches and decongests the spinal column, which promotes the free flow of energy and nerve information between the body and brain. It can also provide relief from headaches.
