Hello hello
So, I got Dunjii to help me demonstrate how to get into a proper updog from downdog.
The point I want to make is that it is important to have the arms/wrist under the shoulders while doing updog in order to avoid unnecessary stress and strain on the shoulders (deltoids) as well as the back. Remember, it is also important to keep the shoulders away from the ears and pulled back to keep the chest open (I'll talk more about this aspect another time). I could spend some much time on the proper form on just this one pose (updog), but this is at least a good place to start. Hopefully, this helps you understand my perspective.
