Description
Forearm down dog A forearm-supported inversion where the body forms an inverted V shape with the hips elevated and forearms pressing into the ground. Commonly used in warm-ups and shoulder-strengthening sequences, it serves as a preparatory pose for arm balances and inversions. Classified within the inversion and arm strength families, it often follows plank variations and precedes headstand or forearm balance poses. Known as ardha pincha mayurasana in Sanskrit.
