Benefits:
This pose stretches and strengthens major muscle groups throughout your body, so it’s ideal to use as a warm-up or cool down around a workout like running or cycling.
How it's done:
- Start on all fours on the floor.
- Exhale and press into your hands and feet, lengthening your tailbone toward the ceiling.
- On your next exhalation, stretch your knees, letting your heels fall toward or onto the floor.
- Firm your shoulder blades and keep your head between your arms. Remain in this pose for one to three minutes.
