Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana)

About

Cat-Cow Pose, a combination of Marjaryasana (Cat Pose) and Bitilasana (Cow Pose), is a fundamental yoga sequence that enhances spinal flexibility and alignment. It involves moving between two positions: Cow Pose, where the back is arched and the chest lifted on inhalation, and Cat Pose, where the back is rounded and the chin tucked on exhalation. This flow is excellent for warming up or cooling down, making it suitable for all yoga levels. Practicing Cat-Cow Pose regularly helps improve posture by promoting proper spinal alignment. It stretches the back, torso, and neck while stimulating abdominal organs and opening the chest. This sequence also aids in stress relief and emotional balance by coordinating breath with movement. Modifications are available for comfort, making it accessible to beginners and those with specific needs. Regular practice can alleviate back pain and enhance overall body awareness.
