Try this basic yoga pose for beginners. Known as the ‘downward dog’, you can get stronger and more flexible (even if you’ve never downward-dogged in your life) with this move. Here goes:
*Start on all fours with hands directly under shoulders, knees under hips.
*Walk hands a few inches forward and spread fingers wide, pressing palms into mat.
*Curl toes under and slowly press hips toward ceiling, bringing your body into an inverted V, pressing shoulders away from ears. Feet should be hip-width apart, knees slightly bent.
*Hold for 3 full breaths.
Try it and let us know how you get on!
