Upward facing Dog - The Balancing Act

Upward facing Dog (Urdvha Mukha Svanasana) has proven challenging to me until I realize the different ways in which the pose is balanced.

The movement of the shoulder backwards is balanced by the press of the lower buttock crease forward and up.

The lift of the chest is balanced with the lift and press of the abdomen.

Finally, the lift of the ribs is balanced by the lift of the inner knees.

All this is maintained as the outer hips roll towards each other.

These are the refinements in the posture.  This post assume that you know how to get up in the pose, bring the hips forward and up and move the chest forward until the back of the armpit starts going beyond the upper arm.

It is my pleasure sharing yoga with you.  Enjoy practicing.

Namaste.
