Upward Dog, or Urdhva Mukha Svanasana, is a foundational yoga pose that is commonly found in dynamic yoga sequences like Vinyasa and Ashtanga. This powerful backbend strengthens the upper body, enhances spinal flexibility, and opens the chest for improved breathing. Practicing upward dog regularly not only builds strength and endurance but also helps in cultivating energy and emotional balance.
