How to do a puppy pose

Start on all fours with hips stacked over knees.
Walk your hands forward, lowering your chest toward the floor.
Keep your hips over your knees.
Rest your forehead on the mat and melt your chest down.

Form tips

Keep your arms active and shoulder-width apart.
Do not let your elbows touch the floor.
Breathe into the stretch across your chest and shoulders.
