12 Poses to a New You: Day 7 - Cat / Cow

Pose 7: Cat / Cow (Bitilasana / Marjaryasana)
Pose 7: Cat / Cow (Bitilasana / Marjaryasana)

Physically, what’s it good for?

  • Flexes and extends the spine
  • Strengthens the arms
  • Builds lung capacity – especially utilises the back of the lungs

Safe and relaxing, cat/cow pose is another pose I recommend daily. It’s so easy to get on your hands and knees once a day and give it a go. Put a pillow under your knees if you prefer. Once in position, stay there for 6 deep breaths or longer. Have a go and let me know what you think.
