Down Dog Variations: Dolphin, Dolphin Push-Ups, & Elbow Lifts

Here are 2 variations that can be taken while in down dog. These variations help build strength and a lot heat! Dolphin builds flexibly in the shoulders and is a wonderful preparation for forearm stand (pinch mayurasana). Elbow lifts are a great way to prepare for chaturanga dandasana, arm balances (including handstand), and head stand (sirsasana). (Tank by Third Eye Threads and leggings by Dharma Bums Active Wear)
