Continue to the Cats Down position by rounding the lower back down towards the floor, extending your head upward during this movement.

Again, keep your arms straight throughout the entire movement.

Continue to round your back until a stretch is felt across the lower back. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds.

Alternate between the Cats Up and Cats Down positions for 2-3 sets for a great lower back stretch.
