Cat-Cow Stretch
A gentle, rhythmic spinal movement often used to ease lower-back stiffness.
- Come onto hands and knees, wrists under shoulders, knees under hips.
- Inhale, gently arch your back and lift your chest and tailbone (cow).
- Exhale, gently round your spine, tucking chin and tailbone (cat).
- Move slowly between the two positions, following your breath.
- Keep the movement small and comfortable — there's no need to force the range.
Typical duration: about 2 minute(s).
