Marjaryasana — also known as Cat pose — will strengthen your neck and back while offering a gentle massage to your spine. For those struggling with neck injuries, try keeping your head in line with your torso while executing this pose. Cohen suggests beginning in Tabletop pose before transitioning into Cat pose in order to lengthen and realign the spine.
- From Table Top pose (on hands and knees), press firmly into palms and tuck chin to chest.
- Draw belly button up and in while rounding the upper back.
