Yoga Pose | Skidless Yoga Mat

In the yoga pose Down Dog, I can't straighten my legs. Is it worth doing the pose consistently with bent legs?

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!
