“Cat-cow pose is one of my favourites as it’s a comprehensive movement that involves transitioning between two positions: Cat Pose (Marjaryasana) and Cow Pose (Bitilasana),” explains yoga instructor Ayesha Bell. “This dynamic stretch is typically performed on all fours, making it accessible to nearly all fitness levels,” the yogi adds.
