There are many variations of marjalasana ( cat posture ). Sit in Vajrasana posture initially, and stand on your knees slightly. Now keep your palms on the floor at shoulder width. Now cross your legs as shown in the picture. Now, while breathing out try to touch the floor with your chest, similar to the way you do pushups. After 2 minutes get back up while breathing in.

Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose)

It is easy to do this asana with a pile of books or a stone block in case you are not able to touch the floor with your palm. Stand with your right leg forward and left leg slightly backward. Hold the stone block in your right hand and place it on the floor in front of you as shown in the picture. Now keeping the whole body weight on the stone block raise your left leg at an angle of 90 degree to your right leg and simultaneously raise your left hand with fingers facing upwards. Keep your eyes focused on your left hand. Be in this position for 30 seconds and come back to your original position. Repeat the same asana by holding the block in left hand and raising right leg.
