Description

Cat Cow Stretch is a gentle flow of two yoga poses that stretch the spine and prepare the body for activity. This exercise is great for improving spine flexibility and abdominal strength.

How to Do Cat Cow Stretch

1
Setup
Start on all fours with hands directly under shoulders and knees under hips. Maintain a neutral spine.
2
Inhale and drop your belly toward the floor, lifting your chest and tailbone toward the ceiling (Cow). Look slightly upward.
3
Exhale and round your spine toward the ceiling, tucking your chin to your chest and your tailbone under (Cat).
4
Flow smoothly between Cow and Cat positions, synchronizing each movement with your breath.

Tips

Move through each vertebra sequentially rather than moving the whole spine at once for maximum mobilization.
Keep the movement slow and breath-driven — each inhale is Cow, each exhale is Cat.
This is an excellent warm-up for any workout or a standalone stretch for desk workers.

Common Mistakes

×Rushing through the positions reduces the spinal mobilization benefit; take 3-4 seconds for each phase.
×Only moving from the lower back ignores the thoracic spine; focus on articulating through the entire spine.
