Understanding a Tabletop Starting Position

Movement Foundations

Small Cat and Cow Movements

Cat and cow are often introduced as contrasting changes in the shape of the back. Explore a modest version from a comfortable hands-and-knees setup, with natural breathing and no demand for a dramatic curve. A seated alternative can keep the same simple idea available.

Useful Equipment

Getting to Know a Yoga Block

A yoga block can offer a convenient raised surface in suitable positions, but it is optional equipment. Learn how to check stability, choose a manageable use, and avoid treating extra height as a reason to reach farther. The practical setup matters more than owning the prop.
