Chair pose is a staple pose that engages the quads, hamstrings and core.
It’s a powerful, fierce pose that enhances a yoga practice. It is also part of sun salutation B, which is a series that warms up the whole body.
You may hear or practice this series in some of my classes.
Utkatasana, or Chair pose, stimulates the core and strengthens the leg muscles.
I love incorporating this pose into my practice for its revitalizing element engaging the whole body.
Downward Facing Dog is a home base.
It is part of Sun Salutation A and B, which helps warm up the body and prepare you for movement during class.
A part of the sun salutation is commonly referred to as “taking your flow,” which includes, chaturanga, upward facing dog (or cobra) and downward facing dog.
Typically, you spend a few breath cycles in a downward facing dog.
Even though it is typically a pose to rest and restore, it is still a demanding pose because you are engaging your quadriceps, calves, hamstrings, ankles, shoulders, hands and wrists.
Oftentimes, beginner yogis may feel that their wrists are sore in this pose.
If this is the case, there are many modifications.
Downward facing dog is a common pose for a reason.
It strengthens the arms, wrists and legs while stretching the hamstrings and shoulders.
Since it is technicallly an inversion--where your heart is above your head--it has many calming properties that can relieve stress.
