Cat and Cow Yoga Pose - Yoga exercises

Hello Steemians,

This Yoga Exercise has multiple benefits.

Benefits of Cat-Cow:
• Strengthens and stretches the spine
• Creates emotional balance
• Helps to balance stuck energies in the body
• Stimulates kidneys and adrenal glands
• Relieves stress and calms the mind

According to yoga, we have seven main energy centres (chakras) which run along our spines. Just like any other energetic being, energy can get stuck or become stagnant in a particular area, especially if we have not been physically active.

In order to unblock these areas of stagnant energy & get the energy moving freely again, we need to move our spines. A very simple yet effective way is by moving the spine in Cat & Cow pose. Mobilizing the body in this manner not only frees up the energy centres; by moving in rhythm with our breathing, it also reconnects us to our breath & body.
