Practice Point: Cat

A variation of cat (marjariasana) or cat-cow is found in many styles of yoga, and the basis of many other asanas.

It is one of the most accessible postures; you can practise it from an all-fours position on the floor, kneeling, sitting on the floor or in a chair, or from a standing semi-squat.
