This mini yoga session was excerpted from the videotape Gentle Yoga with Naomi, produced by Naomi Judith and Yonah Offner. The cat stretch.
Yoga means union.
By harmonizing your mind, body and spirit with gentle yoga, you are stretching, nurturing and taking very good care of yourself. Your level of stress will decrease and you should feel an appreciated sense of self-esteem and calm. Please let go of the need to be perfect and enjoy yourself, taking care never to go beyond what feels good to you. Your body should be tilted just a bit with the spine nice and straight, lower back at ease. You might want to take a pillow or blanket and place it underneath your backside to help prop you up.
