Cat-Cow

by Kaira

A breath-paced way to take the spine through bending and arching within a comfortable range, before or after a long stretch of sitting.

How to do it

  1. Start on hands and knees, hands under shoulders, knees under hips.
  2. Breathe out and round your back, letting your head drop between your arms.
  3. Breathe in, lift the chest and tailbone, keeping the neck long rather than cranked back.
  4. One full round per breath — slow, and stop well short of the end of the range.
