In this short instructional video, the yoga teacher explains how many practitioners perform Upward Facing Dog (UFD) incorrectly and demonstrates the optimal alignment. The key cues include placing the hands in line with the chest, pointing the tops of the feet back, pressing the hands firmly into the mat, lifting the thighs off the ground, rolling the shoulder blades back, lengthening through the sternum, and looking upward while smiling. The video concludes with a brief promotion for the instructor’s online yoga teacher training program and a call to follow the channel for more yoga content.
