Day 5 – Cat/Cow

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love a good cat and cow stretch first thing in the morning. Today we are focusing on cat and cow.

• 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
• 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.
