Cat - Cow

COW

CAT

Begin on your hands and knees with the wrists beneath the shoulders and the knees beneath the hips. While inhaling, curl the toes under, drop the belly and direct the gaze toward the ceiling. While exhaling, uncurl the toes, round the spine, drop the head, and direct the gaze toward the navel.

Benefits:

• The Cat-Cow pose helps to cleanse emotional baggage and restore balance.
• It is an excellent exercise to release the tension in the lower back, middle back, upper back, and neck.
• It also works on the arms and shoulders, the digestive system, the optical nerve and eyes, and the thyroid gland.
