Table of Contents

How This Helps

Cat and cow pose in tandem simply teaches practitioners what it feels like to work with the breath, to move with inhale and exhale. The dual pose combination puts breath work and slow movement to the forefront of the practitioner’s mind. In an active way, it slows the breath and brings your mind to a state of mindfulness and quiet that is needed for the heart. It’s a very good dynamic stretch to start one’s practice.
