“You are Only as Young as Your Spine is Flexible”.
Many of the asanas are named after and reflect the movements of animals. The indian yogis were good observers of nature and understood how animals live in harmony with their environment and with their own bodies. They understood, through experience, the effects of a particular posture and how the hormonal secretions could be stimulated and controlled by it.
Marjariasana(Cat Stretch Posture) is adopted after close observation of the domestic cat.
The cat family has one of the most flexible spines in the animal kingdom and incorporates the excellent feline stretch in the yoga workout.
By imitating the Cat–Marjariasana, could influence our body with flexibility.
