Delicious Pose
This is one of the Doron’s all time favorites! It’s rare that we start a class at DYZC without warming up with some deliciousness. Learn about this perfect warm-up for your hips and spine. It’s a variation of cat/cow pose, but more efficient for an all around safe warm up.
The perfect start to your practice
In a Doron Yoga class this pose is normally the first one to start the practice. It is a variation of cat/cow pose, but is more efficient for warming up the hips and spine, because we move in all directions. There is a big increase in the range of motion, but is still easy and accessible for many different levels of yoga!
• To begin, come to the hands and knees, with the shoulders directly over the hands, and the spine neutral, as you would for cat/cow.
• As you inhale, arch the back and bring the chest forward into cow pose.
• As you exhale, round the back like a cat.
• After a couple rounds of this, then begin your delicious rotations.
• Continue to arch and round your back, but alternate raising the hips and shoulders in a fluid, rotating way.
• Try to stay as fluid and loose as possible, opening up your hips and spine with each rotation.
• After several breaths, switch directions!
