Kitteh Yoga

Hi. I am your teacher, Sri Sai Jones. Today in class we will be practicing a very important pose: downward facing kitteh.


To prepare for this pose, gently turn your neck to the side, like so:


Then suddenly and without warning dip your head at an unnatural angle, and you are instantly in Downward Facing Cat, a pose known as 'Chatarangasvacatsana' - very good for the thyroid and a blood cleansing pose.


Deepen the stretch if you feel able, resting in kitten's pose when the need becomes apparent.


Very good! Now for the very very very very advanced student, turn your neck backwards into Bat Pose: please be advised that you should only do this if you have been doing Cat yoga for at least three years.


Now gently collapse down into kitten's pose and rest, feeling the renewed sense of energy in the base of your brain and a sense of accomplishment!

And Rest. Breathe in your Ujai breath and meow quietly with each breath out.



Any questions? Very good then, Catmaste and let us 'Omeow' three times to close this class.
