<h2>Adho Mukha Svanasana</h2>
<p>
<strong>Downward Facing Dog</strong> is an <em>inverted v posture</em> with both palms and feet on the ground. Builds strength in the upper body and increases flexibility.
</p>
<details><summary>Variations</summary>
Downward Dog is a restorative pose for experienced practitioners, but can be hard work for beginners. The pose can be varied by bending the knees, allowing the heels to lift slightly; by supporting the heels, such as with a rolled-up yoga mat; by lowering one forearm to the floor, extending the other hand forward; and by combinations of these.
Other variations include bending one knee and lowering the hip on that side; alternately "pedalling" by bending one knee and raising the ankle on that side, then the other, and then hooking each foot in turn behind the other ankle; raising one leg, either stretching it straight out, or bending the knee, and flexing and extending the foot; alternating between bending both knees and straightening the legs while bringing the shoulders forward directly above the hands; and twisting the body, reaching back with one hand to grasp the opposite ankle.</details>

<h2>Kapalabhati</h2>

</p>
<details><summary>Variations</summary>
Kapalabhati (Sanskrit: कपालभाति, romanized: kapālabhāti), also called breath of fire,[1] is an important Shatkarma, a purification in hatha yoga. The word kapalabhati is made up of two Sanskrit words: kapāla meaning 'skull', and bhāti meaning 'shining, illuminating'. It is intended mainly for cleaning the sinuses but according to the Gheranda Samhita has magical curative effects.[2] The Technique of Kapalabhati[3] involves short and strong forceful exhalations and inhalation happens automatically.[4] There are three forms of Kapalabhati:
Vatakrama kapalabhati, a practice similar to the Pranayama technique of Bhastrika, except that exhalation is active while inhalation is passive, the opposite of normal breathing.
Vyutkrama kapalabhati, a practice similar to Jala neti, it involves sniffing water through the nostrils and letting it flow down into the mouth, and then spitting it out.
Sheetkrama kapalabhati, can be considered the reverse of Vyutkrama kapalabhati, in which water is taken through the mouth and expelled through the nose.
