Benefits of Downward Facing Dog

  • Relieves stress, depression and calms the brain.
  • Energises the body, Mr Iyengar recommends at least 1minute in the pose to bring back lost energy to runner in a race.
  • Stretches and strengthens the body evenly, so its great to counter pose to rebalance the body -after more challenging or one sided poses.
  • Improves digestion, relieves headache, insomnia, backache, fatigue and menstrual discomfort.
  • Can help prevent osteoporosis and therapeutic for high blood pressure, asthma, flat feet and sciatica.
​
Downward facing dogs are like bananas, you can never have enough, they are satisfying, filling and each one tastes slightly different and are so good for you. Plus there are so many variations and things you can do with it Banana Split, Banana Fritters, Banana smoothy and more yum yum.. So make sure wherever or whatever you are doing, throw in a down dog or two to keep yourself feeling great!
