Cat and Cow: This posture is done by lowering to your hands and knees, with your hands shoulder width apart. Keep your back straight and your head in line with your shoulders. As you inhale, tilt your head up and press your butt out so you look like a cow. As you exhale, look down and arch your back wihile tucking your pelvis in and tightening your abdominals like a cat. Repeat 10-15 times at your own pace. The benefits of this posture is it helps to reduce low-back pain, and strengthens your shoulders. Midwives have also recommended this posture for turning the baby as the birth approaches.
