Start on your hands and knees, aligning your wrists underneath your shoulders and knees underneath your hips.
- Inhale and Arch for Cow Pose
1. Curl your toes under.
2. Tilt your pelvis back so that your tailbone sticks up.
3. Your belly drops down, but keep your abdominal muscles hugging your spine by drawing your navel in.
4. Look gently up toward the ceiling without cranking your neck.
Exhale and Round for Cat Pose
1. Release the tops of your feet to the floor.
2. Tip your pelvis forward, tucking your tailbone. Again, let this action move up your spine. Your spine will naturally round.
3. Draw your navel toward your spine.
4. Drop your head.
5. Take your gaze to your navel.
Repeat the cat-cow stretch on each inhale and exhale, synchronizing the movement to your breath. Continue for 5 to 10 breaths, moving the whole spine.
DO NOT STRAIN YOUR NECK
When you lift your gaze to the ceiling, don't overextend your neck. When you go into Cat, let your head drop naturally rather than forcing it down. Also, be sure to keep your shoulders relaxed .
Keep the Movement in Your Spine
Keep your arms straight so the movement is with the spine, not your arms and elbows.
SAFETY AND PRECAUTION
Cat cow stretching should always be pain-free. If you feel any pain, stop the practice immediately.
If you have pre-existing back pain, check with your doctor before doing this exercise.
If you have a neck injury, keep your head in line with your torso, and don't tilt your head forward or back.
