⁢* Action: Arch the back, lift the chin.

3. Cat Pose (marjaryasana):

* Transition: From Cow Pose, exhale into Cat pose.
* Action: Round the back, tuck the chin.

4. Cat-Cow Repetition:

* Action: Repeat Cat-Cow for 6 cycles⁤ of breath,incorporating any intuitive movements.

5. Child’s Pose: (The text is cut off here,but ⁢it’s the next pose in the⁤ sequence)

Key Features:

* Breath-Focused: The ⁣flow emphasizes linking movement wiht breath (e.g., “Exhale to fold forward,” “Exhale to Cat Pose”).
