Cat And Cow Pose Sitting. The sanskrit name of the cow pose, bitilasana, comes from bitil, meaning cow. But upavistha bitilasana marjaryasana is done being seated, where in sanskrit upavistha means seated.
A wonderful way to start off any yoga practice is with a round cat pose to cow pose. Lift your sitting bones and chest toward the ceiling, allowing your belly to sink toward the floor. Cat pose often is combined with cow pose (bitilasana) to lengthen and open up your spine.
Everything remains the same, except, we just perform cow pose right before cat pose.
The sanskrit name of the cow pose, bitilasana, comes from bitil, meaning cow. Healthy & happy, yoga chuck. On the exhale, arch the back and lift the chest to come into a cow. This gentle, accessible backbend stretches and mobilizes the spine.
