Cat-Cow Pose
1 Start in a tabletop position with wrists below shoulders and legs hip-width apart.
2 Inhale deeply.
3 Exhale slowly, rounding spine toward the ceiling and tucking chin toward your chest “like a cat.” Hold.
4 Inhale deeply, dropping belly toward the floor and lifting head up toward the sky “like a cow.”
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for eight full breaths. Perform daily.
Too hard? Do this pose while seated on the floor or in a chair. Just rest hands on your knees, tucking chin to chest to do Cat Pose, then lift head and chest to do Cow Pose.
