Downward Dog With Fingers Facing Feet

Begin in the same starting position as the previous exercise, with your hands and knees on the ground. Spread your fingers wide and turn your hands so that your fingers are facing towards your feet. Tuck your toes under and lift your knees off the ground, straightening your legs as much as possible. Press your hips up and back, bringing your body into an inverted "V" shape. Keep your arms straight and your shoulder blades spread apart, and try to press your heels down towards the ground. Hold the pose for several breaths, then release and return to your starting position.
