Some of the most common inverted yoga poses are the downward facing dog pose, standing forward fold pose, prasarita padottanasana, dolphin pose, shoulder stand pose, headstand pose and legs up the wall pose. All these yoga poses are known as inverted poses because while practicing these positions the head is lower than the heart, that is, the opposite of our usual upright position.
