Move your spine gently to relax your back and neck. This stretch also helps improve your posture and prevents back pain.
How to Cat Cow Stretch
Starting Position
Get ready by placing your palms and knees on the floor, aligning your shoulders and hips.
Proper Form
1. Inhale as you lower your back and lift your chest and hips (Cow Pose).
2. Keep your gaze steady and lengthen your spine.
3. Exhale as you round your back and shoulders (Cat Pose).
4. Look at your belly button and stretch your spine.
5. Repeat the cow and cat poses 6-10 times.

Inhale as you lower, exhale as you lift.
Precautions
Keep your neck relaxed and move naturally. Don’t overextend your back—stay within your range. If your knees or wrists hurt, use a mat or cushion.
