They say cats have nine lives, so I went nine rounds with this popular yoga pose every day for two weeks to see what, if anything, I noticed change. It’s cat-cow, of course.
Cat-cow pose — Marjaryasana Bitilasana in Sanskrit — is built into yoga sequencing to mobilize the spine, open the back and stretch the upper body, including the abdomen. It’s now used in warm-up routines for a wide range of workouts because its mobilizing and strengthening qualities are just that good.
