Hi butterfly, today we will go back to base with the Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) pose for yoga. Who doesn't know this poster pose?! The reason it has become the best-known asana is that it's so important in contemporary practice. It may be the first pose you learn as you begin a yoga practice. It is done many times during most yoga classes, particularly in Vinyasa yoga. It acts as a transitional pose and can be a resting position. Downward Dog is one of the poses in the Sun Salutation sequence.
