In Vim, ^ can move the cursor to the first word (non white space)

In Vim, ^ can move the cursor to the first word (non white space) of the line, for example

    The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

here ^ in Vim will move to T of The, but in Emacs, how to move cursor to the first word (non white space) of the line instead of using a series of M-b/f and C-a/e/b/f? Is there any existing command to make it?

Thanks

    In Emacs the same thing is achieved by M-m (back-to-indentation).
