In the conventional Cat-Cow yoga sequence, breath and movement are typically synchronized. A general guideline involves inhaling during one phase and exhaling during the other. The specific breathing pattern for Cat-Cow unfolds as follows:
During Cow Pose (Bitilasana), you generally inhale. As you arch your back, lift your head, and open your chest, the inhalation facilitates lung expansion and creates space in the front of the body.
Transitioning to Cat Pose (Marjaryasana), you exhale. Rounding your back, tucking your chin to your chest, and engaging your abdominal muscles, the exhalation complements the movement, enhancing the stretch in the spine.
