Cat and cow pose

Clockwise from upper left corner: Start in child’s pose with knees bent, arms outstretched in front of you and your head on the mat. Slowly rise on hands and knees into a tabletop position. Inhale, lift your chest and look skyward, curving your spine. Then exhale and arch your spine like a cat, dropping your head down and looking toward your navel. Do three to five repetitions, curving and arching your back, then return to child’s pose.
