At the yoga studio that I have been going to for the last 17 years, they promised a unique experience – cow yoga. The two sessions quickly sold out so I was happy to get a spot for this morning. We practiced in a pasture that had all the 1-year old steers in it – about 18 or so. No cute cuddly babies but these cows are known to be very docile and they did not disappoint! There were about 30 participants and the cows seemed very curious at the beginning. But then as we practiced our Cat/Cow and Cow-Face poses, they lost interest and were more concerned about staying in the shade.

As we finished up, we were given the opportunity to visit the cows. They were interested until we ran out of treats and then they “high-tailed” it to the other end of the pasture.
