10 Basic Yoga Poses for Beginners

Cat-Cow Stretch or Chakravakasana

Type of pose: Backbend

This pose can bring many benefits: spinal flexion and spinal extension. Moving back and forth could awaken and warm your back, improve your body awareness, and can be an elementary introduction to coordinate the movements to the breath to perform a vinyasa sequence. The cat-cow stretch might be the most significant position for every yoga beginner, particularly when they are suffering from back pain. Even when you cannot attend your yoga classes regularly, keep performing this pose yourself to enhance the overall spinal health. [4]
