@debmoser_pilatesandyoga: Regular Cat-Cow? 🐈 🐄 Amazing. I do it every day. But sometimes, I like to switch things up with this Figure 4 Cat-Cow variation - because why stretch just one area when you can target multiple? This move mobilizes your spine, opens your hips, and stretches the piriformis, a deep muscle in the glutes that can contribute to sciatic pain when tight. Plus, it lubricates the hip joint, encourages lumbar mobility, and lightly engages the core for extra control. 🔑 Key tips to get the most out of this move: ✔️ Keep the hips square by pressing the knee of your externally rotated leg into the mat. This prevents shifting and deepens the stretch. ✔️ Move with control and connect to your breath; inhale as you extend into Cow and exhale as you round into Cat. ✔️ Listen to your body. Adjust the depth and pace to what feels best for you. ✨ Try this out and let me know how it feels! 📌 Save it for later and share it with someone who could use a deep hip and spine release. 💛 #hipmobility #spinemobility #piriformisstretch #yogaflow #catcowpose #hipstretch #sciaticarelief #backpainexercises #yogainspiration #mindfulmovement
