Downward Facing Dog

 

This basic yoga pose is a great calf stretch.

  • Begin in a plank pose with your hands under your shoulders and lift your pelvis up making a V with your body. Spread your fingers wide. If you have wrist issues simple use a closed fist.
  • Work on bringing your heels toward the ground.
  • Alternate your feet, to deepen the stretch as well.
  • Hold for 30 – 60 seconds.
