To do the pose, Madhuri began by getting down on all her fours on a yoga mat. Then pressing down her palms firmly on the ground, she lifted her hips towards the ceiling while forming a V-shape with her body. She kept her knees and elbows straight in this position and toes pointing straight ahead. She wore a pink top and printed training tights for the yoga routine.
Apart from the benefits mentioned by Madhuri, the Adho Mukha Svanasana helps straighten the vertebrae and align the spine, thus improving the body posture. Working from home during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has taken a toll on our body postures. This pose can be a great saviour for those finding ways to fix these posture problems.
