The Back Cat Position Stretching Exercise

Hi! I’m Angela on behalf of expertvillage.com, and right now I’m going to show you how to do the back cat position. You’ll see why it’s called that in a second. It stretches out the back, which is really relaxing. It’s very common in yoga. The first thing you want to do is make sure your fingers are pointed forward, your toes are pointed backward, and that your back is completely straight. In this point in time, put your head down, put your shoulder blades outward, and then arch your back. You can hold this position for a while. 30-40 seconds. Then go back in this position. It’s very important to inhale and exhale during this. It increases the impact of the stretch as well as the level of relaxation.
