Upward Facing Dog vs Cobra!! Do you know the difference? Alignment tips : Coming into UFD from Chaturanga -As you lower from high plank to chata the elbows bend to create a 90° bend from shoulder to elbow to mat -Keep your legs, thighs, hips lifted pressing only into the tops of your feet as you straighten arms for UFD -Squeeze inner thighs and heels together behind you If your students are taking cobra in their chatas this can still be extremely active if done correctly. -From high plank shift forward lower half way to chata; keep the body in one line from crown to heels as you continue to lower the body all the way to the mat. -Press actively through the tops of feet, hip bones and quads as you lift up into cobra Which is your fav? #yoga #hotyoga #chaturanga
