About the Pose
This pose is commonly referred to as “Cat Cow”. It is a good warmup pose for your practice because it enlivens your spine in and out of your body. It is sequentially beneficial to follow this pose with Adho Mukha Shvanāsana (Downward Dog pose) because your spine has been comfortably stretched and the lengthening that may result from Adho Mukha Shvanāsana is more accessible.
Benefits from the Pose
This pose helps to stretch and tone your muscles that support your spine, enhancing its flexibility and overall mobility for improved posture and movement.
By encouraging the movement of your shoulder blades in a fluid, upward and downward motion, this posture stimulates your kidneys, providing energy and vitality.
