I've bounced between studios and just realized the new teacher’s Down-Dog is totally different from my last one. She cues a tiny thoracic curve—ribs glide back so the upper back feels full, but shoulders stay open, no hunch. My old class drilled the ruler-straight spine, full S-curve on display. I’d finally nailed that version, and now this micro-adjustment is killing me. Her insider tip: “push the ribs toward the thoracic spine—only the back broadens, shoulders don’t collapse.” It’s a motion so small outsiders can’t even see it, yet it changes everything. #YogaTips #Yoga #DownwardDog #YogaPose
