How to perform Cat Stretch

  1. Start on your hands and knees with your hips above your knees.
  2. Draw your abdomen inward and round your back upward, allowing your pelvis and head to follow the spinal movement.
  3. Keep your arms extended and let your neck relax rather than forcing your chin down.
  4. Hold the rounded position for about fifteen seconds, then return gently to a neutral spine.
