Cat Stretch

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Start on all fours with your hands under your shoulders, knees under your hips, and spine in a neutral position.
2. 02Press the floor away and exhale as you tuck your pelvis and round your spine toward the ceiling.
3. 03Let your chin move gently toward your chest as part of the spinal curve without forcing your neck.
4. 04Hold the rounded position briefly and breathe into the back of your rib cage while keeping your arms straight.
5. 05Return slowly to a neutral spine, then repeat without dropping into an exaggerated lower-back arch.
