8. The Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)

This pose is quite famous amongst the pop culture internationally rather than the yoga package. This pose is so easy that it can be done frequently for someone with a migraine. It aids in the maximization of blood circulation to your brain and thereby cures headaches. This pose can also rejuvenate, calm and leave your body energized. Further, it acts as a reliever for insomnia, fatigue and back pains.

Follow the steps:

• Go down on all fours this includes your hands and knees.
• Make sure your knees are beneath your hips and hands but a little before your shoulders.
• Inhale, extending your fingers wide, make sure your palms are securely on the floor and inserting your toes under.
• Exhale, lengthening your legs and drawing your tailbone and hips upwards. Your body should make an upturned V shape. Guarantee that your neck and head are amid your upper arms and your feet hip-distance apart.
• Maintain your spine stretched through, freeing your shoulders away from your ears. You must let your knees incline as much as they need to preserve the posture. Hold on this position.
• Breathe in and breathe out 3–5 times before freeing the pose.
