For all of you “couch potatoes” out there, I’ve got just the exercise for you. You’ll have to get off your couch, though, and onto a chair. C’mon, you have to.....because the exercise is called chair-cat yoga. But if you love your couch, well, go ahead, stay there with your cats for they understand yoga very well. Ever wonder how their spines stay in tip-top shape? It’s because they really know how to str-e-e-e-tch. Now, sit on the edge of your chair, or your couch if you insist, and start with a straight spine, long and strong, and move slowly into a backbend. Hands resting on thighs, the back bends as you expand the chest, extend the sternum forward, lift the chin, tilt the head back and look up at the ceiling. Elongate the lower spine and stretch. Now, come back to the sitting position, round the shoulders and the back, and bend forward so that you are now looking at your thighs. Bring some rhythm to the movement, breathing in as you look up, breathing out as you look down. This is an excellent spinal massage. Beware though, for as you move back and forth between the arching and bending motions, you may begin to look like a couch cat rather than a couch potato. But don’t complain because now you have a spine like your flexible feline. Me-ow-ow!

I like it. Thank you. God bless you. Meoooowww! William Star
