Mobilize your spine and engage your core with this essential yoga pose that promotes spinal flexibility and mindful movement.

Perfect Cat Pose Technique

Cat Pose (Marjaryasana) is a fundamental yoga pose that mobilizes the spine through gentle flexion. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures proper spinal articulation and core engagement for optimal mobility and postural awareness.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

  1. Starting Position:Begin in tabletop with hands under shoulders, knees under hips
  2. Core Engagement:Draw navel toward spine, engage deep abdominal muscles
  3. Spinal Flexion:Round spine toward ceiling, tucking chin to chest
  4. Weight Distribution:Press firmly through hands and shins
  5. Breath Coordination:Exhale as you round spine, hold pose briefly
  6. Return:Slowly release back to neutral tabletop position
