Start on all fours (tabletop position) with a neutral spine.
Begin the move by tilting your tailbone towards the sky to begin the “cat” portion of the move.
Begin to actively arch your back toward the ground, one segment/vertebrae at a time.
Imagine someone is pulling your spine toward the ground.
This is a slow and controlled movement.
Move like this until your back is fully arched.
Now we reverse the motion into “cow” pose. Move your spine in the opposite direction one segment at a time from the neck down to the lower back.
Imagine a string is pulling your spine toward the ceiling (like a puppet).
Once you reach the end of this movement your tailbone should be tucked.
Core muscle engaged the entire time.
Repeat 10cycles 2x/day.
