Start on your hands and knees. Place your wrists directly below your shoulders and your knees below your hips.
Breathe in slowly. Tuck your head downward and round your back up, making a curve with your back in the shape of the letter C. Hold this position for about 6 seconds.
Breathe out slowly and bring your head back up. Relax, keeping your back straight. (Don't allow it to curve toward the floor.) Hold for about 6 seconds.
Repeat 8 to 12 times, gently rocking your pelvis.
