Do you have some minor back pain and aches? Sometimes sitting for way too long can just make our backs ache. But is there a solution?
Yes! Let’s try some yoga poses that can help stretch out our back and bring some mobility to our spine!
Join me each Wednesday for a yoga pose that may help your back feel better. Just remember if you already know you have a back condition, be cautious and if it doesn’t feel right for you then don’t do it.
Our first yoga pose is going to be cat/cow.
If you want to follow a video, feel free to follow me:
But if you’d rather read it, follow the instructions below:
- Purpose- Warm up the spine and front body: chest/abdominals/hip flexors/ and anything running along the front of your body.
- Come into table top
- Inhale into Cow pose
- Inhaling, lift your head so your gaze is towards the sky; lift tailbone to the sky;
- Lengthen you body from tailbone to your chin; Keep your knees and feet hip width apart.
- Toes continuing to curl into the mat
- Maintaining a line among your wrists, elbows, and shoulders
- Inhale into Cow pose
- Exhale into Cat
- Come into tabletop
- Press into your mat (hands and toes)
- Round your back, tucking your chin towards your chest, and tucking your tailbone in
- Breathe into the space between your shoulder blades
- Feel your body start to loosen as you warm up alternating between cat/cow.
- Continue to do this for a few breaths alternating between the two asanas at your own pace.
