Puppy Dog Pose Yoga is a restorative yoga posture that stretches the spine, shoulders, and chest while calming the nervous system. Known in Sanskrit as Uttana Shishosana, the pose begins on all fours with hips lifted over the knees as the arms extend forward and the chest lowers toward the floor. This creates a deep but soothing stretch that helps release tension from the upper body while improving spinal alignment. The posture is especially effective for relieving stress, fatigue, and stiffness in the back and shoulders. Beyond its physical benefits, Puppy Dog Pose Yoga also encourages mindful breathing, emotional release, and heart-opening energy, making it a favorite for those seeking both physical and mental relaxation. It can be practiced as part of a warm-up, restorative sequence, or before meditation. Gentle yet powerful, Puppy Dog Pose Yoga helps restore balance, ease, and inner peace.
