Cat-cow

  • Duration: 5 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Energy boost

Start on your hands and knees, wrists under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Breathe in as you let your belly drop and your chest and tailbone lift toward the ceiling, then breathe out as you round your spine upward, drawing your chin gently toward your chest. Move slowly between the two positions, following your breath rather than rushing. Repeat 6 to 8 times.
