'For Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward Facing Dog Pose), lie flat on your belly with arms stretched near your body. Bend your elbows and keep your palms beside the lowest rib. Press your palms firmly on the mat and slowly lift your torso, hips, and knees. The entire weight of the body is now resting on the palms and on the toes. You can look ahead or you can bend your head slightly backwards. Ensure your wrists are in line with your shoulders and the neck is not strained. Stay in this posture for a few breaths. Then, as you exhale, slowly lower your knees, hips, and torso on the mat. Relax. Benefits of Urdhva Mukha Svanasana are that it stretches and strengthens the back, thus relieving the body of lower backache. Most of the body weight is borne by the arms and wrists, thus strengthening them. This yoga pose helps improve the body posture and also stimulates the abdominal organs.
