Alternating Leg Downward Dog
1 - Begin in a tabletop position on all fours with your hands shoulder-width apart and knees hip-width apart.
2 - Press through your palms and tuck your toes, then lift your hips up and back to form a full Downward Dog position, creating an inverted V-shape with your body.
3 - Keep both heels pressing toward the floor and your spine long, with your head relaxed between your arms.
4 - Inhale and lift your right leg straight up toward the ceiling, keeping your hips square and your core engaged.
5 - Hold the lifted position for a brief moment, then slowly lower your right foot back to the floor.
6 - Repeat on the opposite side by lifting your left leg up toward the ceiling, maintaining stable hips and an engaged core.
7 - Continue alternating legs in a controlled and fluid motion for the desired number of repetitions or duration.
