The Cat Will Mew And Every Dog Will Have His Day

Today we learned the infamous ‘cat dance’. Rawr. The cat dance, or simply the cat, is one of the many parts in a centering exercise. It involves the participant bent over leaning on their hands and feet with their bum up in the air. The first step is to rotate the middle of the body, the hips and torso. Then we move the head in the opposite direction of the torso. Then, we make a “Wsshhh” sound and spring one hand back towards our face and raise the same side hand in the air. Then we do the same to the other side.

I did not (and do not) like the cat. It’s hard. I simply don’t have the upper body strength to do it. So it was a relief when the end came and it was an arm massage. Boy, was it weird, but good.

We got into partners and one laid down. The other would take one arm and shake it out and massage it and stretch it out. It was FANTASTIC.
I guess that’s all there is to say.
