We love to yoga!!!
Cat-Cow is a gentle flow between two poses that warms the body and brings flexibility to the #spine.
It stretches the back and neck, and softly stimulates and strengthens the abdominal organs. It also open the chest and lungs. The spinal movement of the two poses stimulates the #kidneys and #adrenal glands. Coordinating this movement with your breathing relieves stress and calms the mind.
This sequence also helps to develop postural awareness and #balance throughout the body. It brings the spine into correct alignment and can help prevent back pain when practiced regularly.

Start by kneeling on your hands and knees, and gaze at a spot on the floor about three feet in front of you. Make sure your knees are in line with your hips and wrists, and that your elbows and shoulders are perpendicular to the floor.
Inhale and slowly round your spine toward the ceiling. Drop your head toward the floor but do not force your chin into your chest. Make sure you keep your arms and legs perpendicular to the floor. This is the Cat Pose.

Exhale and slowly bring your spine back to starting position returning your gaze to the original spot.
Inhale and lift both your chest and tailbone to the ceiling while curving your back down towards the floor. Raise your head up but do not force it into your back. Pick a spot in the distance and fix your gaze. Keep your knees down and make sure your hands and legs are still perpendicular to the floor. This is Cow Pose.

Exhale and slowly bring your spine back to starting position returning your gaze to the original spot at which you started. Repeat this alternating Cat and Cow pose with each inhale and exhale.
Do this 10 to 20 times.
