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.

Cat mobilises our spine, stretching the front and the back of the torso, and massages the abdominal organs. If you spend long hours sitting at a desk, driving or for any other reason, try Cat as a way to relieve stiffness in the back.
