Learn the Back Stretch Exercise, Cat / Cow

Moving into Cow Pose

1. From cat pose, use an inhale to reverse the curve of the spine.
   Your tailbone moves up and your chest moves forward and up. Your neck is a long extension of your spine. Don't let the head fall back. Be sure to support this move with your abdominals.
   
   Imagine that your head and tail are moving so far away from each other that at a certain point the only thing they can do is start to curve up.
   
   This is a lengthening move for the spine. Please don't collapse like an old horse!
   
   
2. Repeat the exercise - going from cat to cow and back - slowly, with the breath at least two more times.
