Bidalasana, or Cat Pose, at an outdoor yoga event The counter-posture, Bitilasana, or Cow Pose. Bidalasana (Sanskrit: बिडालासन; IAST: biḍālāsana) or Marjariasana (Sanskrit: मार्जरीआसन; IAST: mārjārīāsana), both meaning Cat Pose in Sanskrit, is a kneeling asana in modern yoga as exercise. [1]
Yoga teachers accordingly sometimes avoid Sanskrit pose names, for instance saying cat/cow instead of Bidalasana, tree for Vrikshasana, and bridge for Setubandhasana. [11] The yoga teacher and education researcher Andrea Hyde however states that yoga is not a religion and can fit into ordinary school curriculums, whatever the prevailing culture.
Pose implies an artistic, aesthetic, athletic, or spiritual intention of the position. Attitude refers to postures assumed for purpose of imitation, intentional or not, as well as in some standard collocations in reference to some distinguished types of posture: "Freud never assumed a fencer's attitude, yet almost all took him for a swordsman." [2]
The crossed legs are said to look like a cow's mouth, while the bent elbows supposedly look like a cow's ears. [1] The pose is ancient as it is described in the Darshana Upanishad (3.3–4), written around the 4th century. [4] [5] For instance, it is listed and described within the 84 asanas in the 17th-century Haṭha Ratnāvalī (3.7–20).
A single asana is listed for each main pose, whether or not there are variations. Thus for Sirsasana (Yoga headstand), only one pose is illustrated, although the pose can be varied by moving the legs apart sideways or front-and-back, by lowering one leg to the floor, by folding the legs into lotus posture, by turning the hips to one side, by placing the hands differently on the ground, and so on.
