Here are 2 variations that can be taken while in down dog. These variations help build strength and a lot heat!
Dolphin builds flexibly in the shoulders and is a wonderful preparation for forearm stand (pincha mayurasana).
Elbow lifts are a great way to prepare for chaturanga dandasana, arm balances (including handstand), and head stand (sirsasana).
