One of my favourite photographers Igor Shpilenok has posted in his blog pictures of wildlife including bears, wolves and foxes, stretching just like dogs do. I know I love it when my dog stretches like this but never really knew why. The interesting thing is that this is a innate activity that animals do instinctively to protect their backs. Humans always get back problems and if we did this everyday then it would strengthen our muscles. Yoga does exactly that, so more people should do it regularly!
