Cat Stretch (Marjariasana): Excellent stretch for spine flexibility. Also helps massage the digestive organs and improve digestion, thereby helping you to sleep well. Also improves blood circulation and relaxes the mind.

How to do the Cat Stretch:



  1. Come onto your fours. Form a table such that your back forms the table top and your hands and feet form the legs of the table.

  2. Keep your arms perpendicular to the floor, with the hands directly under the shoulders and flat on the ground; your knees are hip-width apart.

  3. Look straight ahead.
