YOGA POSE TO REDUCE BACK PAIN - ONE MINUTE A DAY The cat-cow pose is excellent for improving posture, balance, and spinal flexibility. This gentle flow between two yoga poses—Cat (Marjaryasana) and Cow (Bitilasana)—helps: 1. Strengthen the spine: The dynamic movement activates and stretches the muscles along your spine. 2. Improve posture: It encourages awareness of spinal alignment and corrects slouching by engaging core muscles. 3. Enhance balance: The coordination required for the smooth transition between poses improves overall body control. 4. Relieve tension: It helps release tension in the back, neck, and shoulders, making it great for people with sedentary lifestyles. 5. Promote mobility: Regular practice increases flexibility in the spine and hips, preventing stiffness. To practice: Start on all fours with wrists under shoulders and knees under hips. Inhale, arch your back, lift your head and tailbone for Cow Pose. Exhale, round your back, tuck your chin and tailbone for Cat Pose. Repeat for 5-10 breaths. This pose is simple yet effective for maintaining spinal health and overall wellness. #backpainrelief
