The Setup:
- Get onto your hands and knees either on your bed or floor
- Tuck your toes under your feet, then position your knees under your hips and hands under your shoulders
The Movement:
- Take a deep breath in and slightly lower your head, tuck your tailbone, and arch your back up to the ceiling until you feel a light to medium stretch in your lower back (cat position)
- Pause for a second, then lower your back down (i.e. drop your belly) and exhale
- Stop when you feel a light to medium pressure in your lower back – it should feel like you are increasing the curve in your lower back and “sticking your bum out” (cow position)
- Pause for a second, then round your back up to the ceiling again and inhale (cat position)
- Go back and forth slowly between these two positions
