Orla Crosse is on the case to keep us moving - a yoga pose a day will be uploaded onto RTÉ LifeStyle and you can watch the pose on her You Tube Channel, Performance Yoga. All easily done in your sitting room with minimum space needed. Try them out!

Pose 7: Cat / Cow (Bitilasana / Marjaryasana)

Physically, what’s it good for?

  • Flexes and extends the spine
  • Strengthens the arms
  • Builds lung capacity – especially utilises the back of the lungs

Safe and relaxing, cat/cow pose is another pose I recommend daily. It’s so easy to get on your hands and knees once a day and give it a go. Put a pillow under your knees if you prefer. Once in position, stay there for 6 deep breaths or longer. Have a go and let me know what you think. Find more videos on my YouTube channel, Performance Yoga.
