I wanted to fix my flexibility and unlock my stiff back—so I practiced this yoga pose every day for two weeks

A woman does a cow yoga pose on a mat in a living room. She is on her hands and knees, with her hands underneath her shoulder and knees underneath her hips, and her head facing up. Her eyes are closed as she arches her back. Behind her we see a couch with a cushion on it.

If you asked me to rate my favorite yoga poses, cat-cow wouldn’t make the top 10. I’ve never felt that it provides me with a satisfying stretch or interesting challenge.

However, I also know that practicing it regularly can improve your spinal flexibility, which is something I could use a little help with.
