I loooooove puppy pose! This is a great backbending pose to open up your shoulders and chest. You'll find it in both hatha and yin based practices. I've heard a lot of students complain about this pose and while it's intense, it should never be painful. It is possible that this pose might not be suitable for your body.
I'll show you how to do this pose, how to make it more or less sensational and some variations you can play with. The yin variation of melting heart will be slightly different than the hatha version of puppy/anahatasana.

Taking us deeper in more ways than one! You're instruction has contributed to the opening of my heart! You are Divinely placed in our lives 💜🙏🏽 Truly part of my journey and family! Love & Light Kassandra!
Please could you do a downward dog tutorial? I’m not sure I’m doing it 100% right and would love a tutorial from you. I couldn’t see one on your channel. I love your yoga and have recommended you to anyone who will listen! I’ve done your 30 day challenge twice and you’ve really given me a love of yoga! Thank you so much for your videos 😍🥰💕
Thank you very much! ❤️ I never understood this pose, but your explanation is very clear.
thank you 💚
Of all the yin poses, this is the most challenging for me. When I started doing yin yoga I had heard that hip opening poses could trigger emotional reactions like anger, sadness, etc, but had never experienced that. However, the first time I tried this pose it elicited very intense anger and frustration. It truly shocked me! I must hold a lot of those emotions in my upper back, who knows? Physically, I feel this in my triceps and shoulders and I feel like my face is smashing into the floor while my arms fight with the mat. So it’s very hard for me to melt and relax. I’ll give this tutorial a try and hopefully get the hang of the pose! I know my body must need it if it’s causing such a strong reaction! Thanks for all you do for us!
Me too! In fact I’m pretty pissed off right now. I’ve been trying this pose and I feel like crying because I can’t hold my body up. I collapsed instantly. No time for a stretch if I can’t even keep my head from falling into the floor 😭 Even with a pillow I don’t know how the heck I’m supposed to make this happen!
It's good to know its not supposed to be easier than downdog. That explains a lot
First person to ever address wtf to do with your nose, I feel less alone now haha.
I don’t know why but puppy is one pose I dislike so much. Right up there with burpees which I refuse to do. I keep trying but I feel so off balance, strained, like I’m doing it all wrong. I don’t struggle with too many others but this one is a doozy.
I have been watching and practicing with you and i am thankful to the day i found out your page. I cannot believe it took me more than a year to find your tutorials. Thank you for all your videos/ You really helped me and motivated me.
Love this pose and the reminder to soften and trying out different arm distances!!
Thank you so much for sharing, Kassandra 🙏🏽✨🤍🍁
I love your yoga tutorials! Keeping my fingers crossed for a chaturanga dandasana tutorial! 🙏 🥰 🥰
Yes 🙌🏽👌🏽🙏🏽💜
I thought I had this pose figured out but thanks to this tutorial I've corrected the alignment error I was making with putting all the strain on my lower back. Thanks for explaining it so well and providing variations. Namaste from Spain
Thank you for this, I love learning something new about an already familiar posture. 🌸
Thank you for sharing this wonderful classes with us! Love it!
Wow, this is exactly what I needed-even better than I was hoping for when I typed in my search! You gave me answers to all the questions I couldn’t even verbalize on my own. I only knew I was struggling with this pose. Thank you so much!
Love these tutorials. Super helpful to make the small adjustments and have options--especially for Yin vs. Hawtha or Vinyasa versions. Thank you!
Great tutorial addressing all my questions. Thanks!
that was really helpful Kassandra, much appreciated that you take the time and care xo
I have just discovered your channel, and I absolutely LOVED it!!!! You are exactly what I was looking for!!!!!!!
Love this pose and usually find it challenging on my upper back and chest. Thanks for the gentle reminder and tutorial
I love your Yin yoga lessons
Those are best videos among all youtube yoga videos
Thank you so much
Thank you for this tutorial sooo much ❤️ The details you are mentioning are very helpful to keep in mind and practice on. Thank you ❤️
Great tutorial, Kassandra! Thank you!
Really helpful with your details and modifications. Thank you so much!
hi kassandra! i recently started doing yoga, thanks to you & quarantine. it makes me feel mesmerized, tysm 🤍🌼
This is so helpful! Really like these tutorials. If you could, and want to, I was wondering if you could do one of downward dog? I struggle to make the position correct and have to bend my knees, I was reading your spine and hammies are connected and that's why I can't downward dog as my legs are too tight. Working on my legs but if tutorials are going to be something you may do now and again I'd really appreciate the video! You're amazing, thankyou for introducing me to yoga!
Haha, I just saw the story about people asking simple questions so I hope I wasn't one of those people who irritated you, just wanted a professionals opinion who I trusted rather than a randomer online! Sorry!
I would love to see a tutorial on downward dog also. I’ve always struggled with it! 🙄😊
Absolutely love the indepth tutorial!!
so useful, thank you for this tutorial, Puppy Pose is one of my favorite poses and these tips were so needed 🙏
This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼💕
thank you so much for sharing your practice! always learn so much from you.
Thank you so much for this! Puppy pose is one I really struggle with- this helps. I practice with you everyday and love your tutorials!!
A skandasana tutorial would be awesome.
Amazing, love your teaching. 🙏🏽
Wow I was searching for a puppy pose tutorial just yesterday! And couldn't find a good one. Now it's here. Thanks! :)
I was struggling to do it. You made it so easy. Thank you so much for such a great video. 🥰
Thank you Kassandra! I always struggle with this pose and sometimes I have to do another one in the videos because or I feel pain or I do not feel anything. Now, I understand more about it and I know how to do it. Thank you so much 🥰 It was really helpful.
Oh man, I needed this! Thank you!
You are so very helpful and thoughtful.Now I understand this pose.
Recently wondered if I was doing this position correctly and just came across ur explanation. Thanks!!!! I needed it 🧘🏻♀️
All tutorials are helpful to improve or ensure we are in a safe and correct position for specific poses...so thank you! I struggle with eagle arms and would love to have a tutorial on it
This is the best explanation for this pose that I have watched. Thank you.🧡
Thanks Kassandra. I've just started exploring this pose and I've never been shown properly how to do it but I have to say, I've done a pretty good job so far! I like it for an alternative to down dog when I'm doing a more low key, relaxing practice because I love the spinal stretch I get in down dog but don't always want to do it as part of my practice. Though I like down dog for a warm up before. Really appreciate how you explained to make it more active or suitable for yin or a restorative practice. Thanks again Kassandra love and light 🧘♀️ 💜 🧘♀️ 💜
Been most curious about this. Thank you
Hey Kassandra. Thank you for the videos.
Could you please update the beginners playlist? Thanks again. 😁
This is SO helpful! Thank you. Could you also do a tutorial for Downward Dog? I love doing your 10 min morning yoga. Have been doing them since March. Love your channel and work!
Kassandra, thank you so much for this video! I loveeee it, because sometimes I feel like I’m not feeling any knew progress, and I don’t have the ability to go to an in-person class, so having this type of instruction with the different ways your students might’ve had trouble with the pose and like the reasonings behind the different modifications is EXCELLENT, so useful, thank you!🤍🤍🤍
Excellent demo n explanation. Namaste
Thank you for this! It really helped me fine tune my Anahatasana
I missed your tutorials. Also I love that one always learn a lot more that just about one asana. Thank you 🤗
Thank you!
Beautiful thank you.
I always struggle with this pose, thank you!
Great tutorial. I came looking for alternative cues for this pose for a specific client. You clearly know your stuff. Thank you! Following.
This helped me a lot thanks!
Fantastic video! Great tutorial! :)
I agree with the other commenter. Your tutorials are excellent. You are my go-to person for them!
Very nice! Thank you!!!
Puppy pose is still a challenge to me, thanks Kassandra for the insight!
Thank you for this in-depth tutorial Kassandra! My husband and I have both always had some trouble with puppy pose and this helped us both find more ease and strength in the pose... we're both a lot more comfortable with it now. :P
Excellent tutorial
I’ve been questioning so much about this pose! Thank you for the upload!!! 💜
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for this video
Thank you for this awesome tutorial
I am super flexible everywhere except my shoulders and struggle with this pose .. your explanation will help me greatly
❤️
This was PERFECT(!!) because I didn't realize I was "dumping/loading" too much into my lower back - in trying to go for the 'look' of the puppy pose vs where I should be feeling it/melting. Thank you for the suggestions!! OAN: For the Yogi Squat, I thought it was near impossible for me to go down without my heels lifting off the ground - like maybe my femurs are too long to do it, lol. I think I may be improving, but any tips on doing a proper Yogi Squat would be appreciated too! Thanks so much Again!!
Love this. Thanks 🙏
awesome video! thanks for the tutorial on this 😁🙏🏻
This was insanely helpful, thank you so much! I do yoga at home by myself, so nobody can correct my postures. I have had a feeling that I was doing puppy pose wrong, and I wanted to get it right because I know I need to stretch my upper body more. All the other videos I have watched for the correct way to do puppy pose are not nearly as informative! Also I didn't realize that puppy pose and melting heart were different and your explanations were so good!
Loving your morning yoga video 🧘♀️
Love puppy pose!! 🐕
You have very deapth knowledge of asana antomy nd your way of teaching very simple with great tips🙏🏾❤️👍🏾
SO helpful!! One of the poses I didn'treally understand. Thanks a lot!!
So glad it was useful 😊
That is very helpful. I had hoped I was doing incorrectly because of the lower back strain in addition to the shoulder strain, and this alleviated both. Thank you. I may now no longer hate this pose.
Thank you! I love your tutorials. Can you move all that you have done under the tutorial section in the app? Last time I looked, there were just a couple ty💙🧘♀️💙
Thank you! This was super super helpful. I really struggle with this pose but will try your recommendations out 🙂
It’s been really useful to focus on just this pose, as I have been able to really look at how you do things. Especially in a pose like puppy this is not normally easy because it entails looking towards the floor. I had literally never realised that I am meant to put my forearms on the floor. As my arms overextend, puppy has always been uncomfortable for me, because it made my arms hurt, so I have only ever done it for short periods. I now have many different options to try, and will be able to participate better. Thank you so much 🙂🙃
Love this pose 😌
Thanks a lot, Kassandra. Doing this pose in your classes for such a long time, and oftentimes I used exactly this flexibility in the lower back and sunk it down, just as you mentioned. Was always wondering, if this is correct- as it did not feel so. Now I know better and learned even more than I expected.
This was so helpful. You always know the right things to talk about. I like it when I am in some position and you will say something like " make sure your hip is straight and not shifted to the left" or something to that sort. Mine is always the way you say don't let it be. On another note, I have problems with my big toes, (arthritis) and going into a lounge is painful. any tip will be appreciated. Thank you, Terri
Lizard/dragon tutorial. I love the pose but would like more tips! Thank you!
Hello mam 🙌🙌 amazing thanku mam 4 this thanku so much 💕💕💕
İt is a compelete tutorial.. very in details.. i love that and thank you 🙏...
I donno how 2 people can leave dislike for this nice complete explanation !!!
The first few times I did Puppy Pose it felt SO great on my upper back and then suddenly I felt like I could never recapture that wonderful stretch. It turns out it was because I was arching my low back in the mistaken effort to "go deeper". I can't wait to practice doing it properly and getting that wonderful stretch again.
Hi Kassandra, thank you so much for this tutorial. I always feel like all my weights end up at my forehead in this pose, and I will try to play with arm distance and breathing for the next practice. I’m also very unsure on “thread the needle” (again, I always felt a a weight rushing forward...) and wild-thing, it would be nice to learn more about them from your tutorials. Also, I am wondering if a full month calendar that focuses on the upper body, arms and necks’ stretch and strength would be a good idea. 🤔🤔🤔 I find it hard to connect with the sensation of these areas. again, thank you very much!!!
Great tips for chair pose. I struggle with getting comfortable in this pose. Would you do a video on yogi squat pose next?
I’m *super* flexible and am one of those people who can put their chin/chest on the floor in this pose. My practice in this pose focuses on keeping my elbows from splaying out-so I can feel a stretch in my arms-and keeping my belly engaged so i dont dump into my low back, as you mentioned. It’s taken me a long time to figure that out...in part because I didn’t realize until recently that my flexibility is the exception rather than the norm!
Thank you for the tutorial! Could u make another tutorial of chaturanga and dolphin pose?
Now I know how my dog feels when he does this stretch 🐕 at peace 🙏♥️
This is awesome 😊
I would love a squat tutorial 😊♥️
Awesome tutorial. I feel discomfort in the shoulders. Will try the suggestions. In shoulder plank I can't put my forearms straight.
Puppy posture has always been so painful for me because of my tight upper back. Your advice here it fantastic
Thank you
oh my god this was so helpful!! i always atruggle with this pose because i let my lower back just go lol. i will try everything u said during this tutorial tomorrow while im practicing!
i dont know if this would help but i actually put a block under my chest (right below my boobs sorry for the crassness) as long as i can breathe comfortably and it actually kind of helps me stay in the pose but now i will def try these tips and tricks so i dont have to use it!
Please do this for traditional pigeon pose! Thank you so much
Is there a recommended yoga exercise for someone who had surgery in the inner thigh? I’ve been following and practicing your channel for about 8 months, currently 3 weeks post-op. Any advice will be highly be appreciated.
thanks Kassandra. I really feel discomfort at puppy pose as I feel it hurts my forhead and nose a lot. Resting on chin I find better though.
Hey Kassandra! Can you do a tutorial on Pyramid pose please? I always struggle with it, since the back of my legs are quite tense. A lot of the descriptions and explainations I've heard seem to require touching the floor with your fingertips, but I can barely reach even with my front leg slightly bent. It would be great to know what to look out for, what alternatives exist for less flexible people like me and how to improve flexibility in that area. :)
I struggle with this pose, but for different reasons! I have a really flexible t-spine (and shoulders) and I end up so deep in the pose that I feel pinching in top of my shoulders. No variation in arm position has ever helped. I usually end up subbing in something else or coming out early.
Thanks for that tutorial. I have some problems with this pose, because my shoulders are quite stiff. My fingers start to prickle while extending arms over head. And also I feel my lower back extending too much.
I think this tutorial can help me 😊👍🙏
Yes that's very common! Hopefully the video helps :)
I always have trouble in the wide legged child's pose because my nose feels like it is getting smashed no matter how I try to adjust my face on the mat. Also lots of trouble with thread the needle, either feels like no stretch or else too much weight on my neck.
Thank you!!
What ever position I try it still hurts my shoulders and I end up having to come out of the pose feeling bummed out. Is there another pose I could do in place of puppy pose?
💕💕💕
Thank you so much. I am one of those who doesn't feel anything in this pose so something must be totally wrong.
I keep sliding and falling in this pose! It takes all my strength to hold my body up so I’m confused. Any ideas? (In other words if I try to relax at all my head slams into the floor and my torso falls down). If I sit my hips back it’s fine but I can’t stack my hips over my knees without disaster 😒
So the chest shouldn't touch the mat?
I was thinking about a tutorial for this yesterday while doing one of you classes 😊 my problem is that my hands keeps sliding (or elbows if i do that variation) am i doing it wrong or do i need a new stickier mat? 😅
Could you be leaning too far forward maybe? You could try leaning back slightly or putting a towel under your palms!
Yoga with Kassandra oh maybe thats it :) i will definitely try that, thank you 🌸
I’m puzzled - was expecting a pose demo like with crow pose. Missing 2 minutes?
