Asanas benefit the body in various ways. They are known to cure diseases and disabilities and have a profound effect on the human body and the mind.
One such Asana is the Marjariasana.
The Marjariasana is an asana where you depict the posture of a cat. Hence the name, Marjari: Cat and Asana: Posture.
The physical benefits of Marjariasana are many, some of which are:
There are a few psychological benefits that arise out of Marjariasana:
Let us have a quick look at how you can perform the Marjariasana.
Step 1: Start from the position where you are on all fours. The back should be straight. This is called the table position.
Step 2: Keep the hands straight beneath the shoulder. The palms should be placed flat on the floor.
Step 3: Now look straight ahead.
Step 4: Now slowly raise your chin. Exhale while you do it. While you raise the chin, there would be an arch formation on the back. This is called an inward arch. Hold that cat position for 4 breaths.
Step 5: From the chin-up position, slowly bring your chin towards the chest. While you do so an outward arch of your back will form. Exhale while you do it.
Step 6: Tuck in your stomach while you are in a chin-in position. Stay there for 4 breaths.
Step 7: Back to the tabletop position.
The essence of yoga lies in the manner it heals the body whilst strengthening it as well as calming the mind. Marjariasana or the cat pose does that with ease. It is an easy routine and hence can be performed by beginners.
