Downward dog...heels up or down? It depends! The more I practice and teach, the more I honor the variations in the human body, and the physical condition in a moment in time. In general, #downwardfacingdog #adhomukhasvnasana, is intended to awaken the entire body literally from the fingertips to the toes. Heels touching the floor may or may not happen depending on hamstring or ankle or achilles tendon tightness. Heels down might be achieved by a shorter down dog or bent knees. But, what is your INTENTION for heels down in down dog? I used to believe heels down was the “right” way to DO down dog, because a teacher said so. Fast forward to over 25 years of practice and yoga has become less about rules and more about discovery, and leading my students to discover and create the physical, mental and spiritual experience they want through mindfully moving and holding their bodies in space and time. Do you find yourself frustrated not knowing the RIGHT way to down dog? Be curious, not furious! 😍 I will share MY experience in down dog. For years I emphasized heels down, just because I thought that was “law” and my down dog looked like an a-frame with a short distance between my hands and feet. Until I knew differently, with my short stance my thigh muscles were barely engaged and I was missing out on the whole body engagement offered through down dog. During teacher training I was invited to take a longer stance and discovered a brand new experience, from integrating my shoulders and openness in my upper back, a lengthening of my spine, awareness of pelvic tilt, core engaged through uddiyana bandha, contracted thigh muscles, and a physical experience of freedom and space with playing with heels OFF the floor. I still reach my heels towards the floor with less emphasis on touching heels to mat. If I’m flowing through a one breath/one pose vinyasa practice I might stay higher on the balls of my feet to prep to float. For long holds in down dog I tend fire up my thighs more and stamp heels down. After a car accident and shoulder injury...
