=== 3. Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana) ===
Cat-Cow is a gentle flow between two poses that moves the spine in a way that helps release tension and promote relaxation. This movement sequence can also help relieve tension in the back, shoulders, and neck.

'''How to Do It:'''

# Start in a tabletop position with your wrists directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.
# Inhale as you arch your back (Cow Pose), lifting your chest and tailbone toward the sky.
# Exhale as you round your back (Cat Pose), tucking your chin and tailbone toward each other.
# Repeat this flow for 5-10 breaths, moving slowly with each inhale and exhale.

'''Benefits:''' This pose increases flexibility, opens the chest, and relieves tension in the back and neck, all of which can help release stress.
