Yoga with Foam Roll: Cat & Cow or Downward Dog?

Using a foam roll in your yoga practice can deepen stretches and enhance muscle relaxation. It’s a simple way to support your body while improving flexibility and strength.

For the Cat & Cow pose, place the foam roll under your spine for gentle support as you arch and round your back. This variation can help open your chest and release tension in your back.

 

In Downward Dog, position the foam roll under your hands or feet to elevate your body and create more space in your hips and shoulders. This modification can ease tightness and improve alignment in the pose.

Both styles with the foam roll offer a great way to deepen your practice, providing extra comfort and support as you move through these classic yoga poses.
