Fitness - Cat-Stretch & Climbing the Sky

 

Cat Stretch

Stance: From a seiza, kneeling position, sit on the heels with the torso vertical.

 

Action: Bend forward with arms extended in front of you until hands touch the floor. Begin with hands directly under shoulders and knees under hips. Keeping spine and head straight, arms extended, slowly sit back on the heels, feeling the elongation  of the spine. Exhale as you bend.

 

Duration: Maintain the crouch for four breathing cycles.
