Hey everybody. Welcome to Yoga Land. As you can hear, I am not Andrea Ferretti. I am Jason Crandall.

And I am releasing a special episode today.

It's the audio-only version of my most recent yoga teacher's companion,

focusing on my five favorite ways to make sure you're getting the most from downward facing dog.

Those of you that want to watch the video in its totality, it's released on

YouTube as a video piece and you get to see some of the techniques involved

but you can see some of the techniques involved.

But you can also listen to it here.

And those of you that are consistent yoga practitioners and teachers,

you will most likely be able to learn pretty much as much from the audio version as the visual version.

We look at my five favorite ways to break down and to improve aspects of downward facing dog by bringing it more focus

and more specific technique. So you can check out Jason Crandall Yoga on

YouTube if you want to watch or you can just listen to it here.

So without any further ado, thanks for being part of the community and I hope you enjoy.

We are going to look at my five favorite ways to focus on different aspects elements or attributes of the pose and

create some really essential refinements. We are not going to overhaul the

pose from beginning to end. We're going to take the same pose
