After Downward Facing Dog, which leg lifts on the inhale?

• A. Left leg high
• B. Right leg high
• C. Both legs high
• D. No leg lift

Answer: (B)

From Downward Facing Dog, lifting a leg on the inhale is the move that creates space and sets up the next transition. The right leg is lifted, forming Three-Legged Dog. This inhale-to-lift sequence engages the hips and back body, lengthens the spine, and keeps the left leg as a stable base. On the subsequent exhale, you bring the knee toward the nose or step the foot forward between the hands to move into the next pose. The other options don’t fit the common flow: lifting the left leg would be a mirror variation, lifting both legs isn’t how this transition typically progresses, and not lifting a leg would halt the flow.
