One Legged Dolphin Pose
From Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Śvānāsana), the forearms are planted onto the earth with the elbows narrow and the palms flat in a Sphinx (Sālamba Bhujaṅgāsana) position. The pelvis is tucked. The ribcage lifted. One leg is straight and rooted to the earth, while the other reaches straight toward the sky.

Benefits Of One Legged Dolphin Pose

Downward-Facing Dog is one of the most well-known yoga poses for a reason—it can be done by almost anyone, and is an amazing stretching and strengthening exercise for the entire body.

It stretches the torso, strengthens the arms and legs, and rests and rejuvenates the brain. Three-Legged Downward-Facing Dog provides all the great benefits of Down Dog, but also stretches the inner and outer hip, side body, and improves balance.
