I’m hoping they’ll straighten with practice. Should I do other stretches to stretch my hamstrings first and then do Down Dog with straight legs?
Yoga teachers and people who can do Down Dog with straight legs.
Also, should feet be together or hip width apart?
Thanks!

Well, the pose is mostly about streching but, you also want to shift your weight into your heels. And, also i like to have my legs just a little farther than hip width apart, but thats just me.
