Pose of the Week: Cow Pose

This week’s Pose of the Week is Cow Pose, usually combined with last week’s Cat Pose. Benefits of the combination include: •Improves posture and balance •Strengthens and stretches the spine and neck •Stretches the hips, abdomen and back •Increases coordination •Massages and stimulates organs in the belly, like the kidneys and adrenal glands •Creates emotional balance •Relieves stress and calms the mind (cnyhealingarts.com) Thank you to Lauren Reeves for the pic. This combination has really been helping me to stay aligned in the last weeks of my pregnancy. It’s a great, safe way to relax the spine and relieve tension. Simple, but I am a fan!
