Stretching your back enhances spinal flexibility and helps relieve built-up tension. The Cat-Cow pose, a staple in yoga practice, is an ideal gentle stretch for your back.
How to do the Cat-Cow stretch:
1. Position yourself on hands and knees, aligning knees under hips and wrists under shoulders.
2. Inhale deeply, arch your back, and gently lift your head and tailbone.
3. Exhale, round your spine, tilt your pelvis under, and tuck your chin toward your chest.
4. Repeat several times, flowing smoothly with your breath.
