How to do the Wall Downward Dog

1. Stand facing a wall about an arm's length away and place your hands on it at shoulder height.
2. Step your feet back and keep arms and legs straight as you lower your torso toward the floor.
3. Let your head hang between your arms and breathe into the stretch.

Tips

• Relax your neck and keep your spine long.

Adjustments

• Bend your knees or walk feet closer to the wall for a gentler stretch.
