Downward Dog to Pushup

From the kneeling lunge, place both hands on the ground and step both the feet back into the downward dog position. In the downward dog position, ensure the weight is even on the palm, gaze is towards the quads, the quads are flexed, and the heels are gravitating towards the ground. Transition to high plank. Once in the high plank position, push the ground away from you with the hands, setting the shoulders in place. Maintain a stable core and flat back. Squeeze the glutes, toes are curled underneath you. Retract the head/neck for cervical spine alignment. From a high plank position, ensure the hands are pushing through the ground and the shoulders are set. Then, keeping the elbows close to your sides, slowly lower. Ensure your neck remains retracted, abs engaged, and spine remains flat.
