Cat - Cow Stretch Is the Yoga Pose of the Week

Sunday October 18, 2009


If I had to pick a desert island yoga pose, I'd have to go with cat - cow stretch. Ok, it's two poses, but let's not get too technical. This nice, simple rolling and unrolling of the spine would pleasantly pass the time while waiting to be rescued and help relieve my stress (when am I going to get rescued????) to boot. If I could sneak in one more pose, it'd be a press back into downward facing dog. Then I'd really have something to work with. What's your desert island pose?

cow stretch is a very common name for yoga. However in the Medical Field . The Dr. will not say cow stretch… the same poses and stretch is called pelvic tilts… so when a physician wants you to do pelvic tilts… think of yoga.. same thing… I personally use the Medical Terms.
