What is the transition immediately after Upward Facing Dog?

• A. Mountain Pose
• B. Child's Pose
• C. Cobra Pose
• D. Downward Facing Dog

Answer: (D)

In a vinyasa flow, the transition after Upward Facing Dog is typically Downward Facing Dog. This move resets the spine, lengthens the back, and provides a stable, inverted shape to prepare for the next portion of the sequence. To transition, press through the hands, engage the arms and core, and lift the hips up and back while keeping the spine long. Exhale as you move into Downward Facing Dog, then continue to the next pose such as a Forward Fold or Mountain Pose. The other options don’t fit the immediate transition because Mountain Pose comes after Downward Facing Dog, Child’s Pose is a rest, and Cobra is a backbend that usually comes before Upward Facing Dog rather than after it.
