Cat pose

Pose of the week is Cat pose.

I love this pose as we have soo many different variations of it. I also love having fun making cat noises in class when we do this stretch.
Begin on all fours as in table top with knees directly under the hips & wrists under the shoulders.
Breath in & curve spine lifting head & neck, pushing belly towards the floor. (miaow -happy cat)
Breath out & Drop head between shoulders arching back pushing spine towards ceiling (hiss- like a scaredy cat)

Benefits can inc
Mobilising the spine & shoulders
Strengthening the wrists & arms
Improving digestion
Improving circulation to abdominal organs
Exercising the lungs
