The Cat Stretch
- Assume a kneeling position with your hands, knees and feet apart.
- Exhale when you bend the left knee and lower the head. Then bring the knee to the forehead. Hold this position for a few seconds.
- Inhale while you extend and raise the leg and the head back as far as you can. Hold this position for a few seconds and then relax
- Do the same with your right leg.
- The rhythmic stretching and compression of the abdomen in these poses will help one to learn the control the breath. These deep breaths will help to clear the lungs and relax the chest muscles. Focus on breath will help to release overall tension and induce relaxation.
