Thank you for putting together such an informative tutorial. I realized I’ve been doing down dog wrong for so long!
Hi, Kim, and thank you. Glad you found it useful. Yes! I too didn’t realize I was doing this pose wrong for years and I often see my students making these mistakes.
This may be the most informative yoga tutorial I’ve ever come across. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, Emily!
Awesome tutorial! I noticed that it’s been a while since you published it. Hope you will be doing more of these.
Thank you, Christina! Appreciate your feedback. I have a few of these written out and will definitely publish some more in the coming months.
Great to hear Karina. These are so helpful. Looking forward to them!
Thank you so much, Vanessa! Your feedback means a ton! Make sure to check out the “Related Posts” under the pose posts and “Yoga Poses” category under “Categories” in the sidebar for more. 🙂
My wrists keep hurting when I do downward dog.
Hi Olivia, it’s hard for me to assess why that’s so without seeing you do the pose. However, my bet would be that you’re not engaging your hands. Make sure to press your fingers and palms into the mat. That will likely feel uncomfortable at first before you develop the tiny muscles in your hands, but it will get easier with time and will take pressure off of your wrists. Let me know if that helps.
