Extended Puppy Pose – Uttana Shishosana

Get playful with “Uttana Shishosana” or Extended Puppy Pose, a yoga posture that combines the calm of Child’s Pose with the stretch of Downward-Facing Dog. Begin on all fours, then move the hands forward and sink low with the chest towards the floor, keeping hips over the knees.

“Uttana Shishosana” is a soothing connection with your inner child. This pose stretches the spine and shoulders, encourages flexibility, and calms the mind, relieving symptoms of chronic stress. As you sink into this pose, imagine being a playful pup, free of worries. Let this lighthearted asana remind you to enjoy the process, not just the goal.
