Adho mukha svanasana, or downward dog pose, is one of the most well-known postures in the yoga world. Ideally, what shape should the body make in this posture?

Downward dog is an active resting posture in many practices and a staple inversion in a traditional vinyasa. In this posture, the hands and feet are firmly planted on the mat with the tailbone reaching towards the sky, creating a triangular shape.
