Alright, now I'm going to show you how to do a rolling cat. We're doing a lot of spinal
flexion in a rolling cat. You're going to go between a dog hip and a cat hip, if you're
familiar with yoga. A cat hip is rounded, arching the back, and the opposite would be
arching the back, the opposite direction, with the tail out. So, those are your two
focal points for the center. And, when you move to the side, you're going to drop an
elbow, and then roll it up. One shoulder is going to lead the whole way. So, one shoulder
up, one shoulder down, bending the elbow, and lift. Remember to relax your head through
this, feel as though it's a big, big stretch, rounding, arching up to the top and bringing
your ribs over to the side, as you lower the chest, and bring it up through. If you were
to imagine that your body is in a tube, make sure you touch the top of your spine in the
tube, bring your shoulders over, and touch the rib to one side, drop it until you touch
the bottom, and lift to the other. Make it a slow fluid transition and relax your head
through it. So there is your rolling cat.
