By coordinating movement with breath, it relaxes back muscles, improves spinal mobility, and lightly engages the core and abdominal muscles. Ideal for those who sit for long periods, experience back tightness, or want to enhance core stability. --- 操作步驟 / Steps 1. 四足跪姿，雙手置於肩膀正下方，雙膝與臀同寬，脊柱自然延展。 On hands and knees, hands under shoulders, knees hip-width apart, spine extended naturally. 2. 吸氣時抬頭、胸部向前開展，尾骨向上翹起，下背微下凹，進入牛式（Cow Pose）。 Inhale to lift the head, open the chest forward, tilt the tailbone upward, slightly arch the lower back into Cow Pose. 3. 吐氣時拱背、收下巴、尾骨向下收，核心微收，進入貓式（Cat Pose）。 Exhale to round the spine, tuck the chin, tailbone downward, lightly engage core into Cat Pose. 4. 變化方式：在牛式時抬右手或左腿至伸展，吐氣回到貓式，交替動作，可加強平衡與核心控制。 Variation: In Cow Pose, lift the right hand or left leg for extension, exhale back to Cat Pose, alternate sides to enhance balance and core control. 5. 重複 8–12 次，配合均勻呼吸，感受脊柱流暢延展與核心微發力。 Repeat 8–12 times with steady breath, feeling smooth spinal movement and gentle core activation. --- 功能效果 / Benefits 放鬆背部肌群 / Relaxes back muscles 改善脊柱靈活度 / Improves spinal mobility 輕度訓練核心與腹部肌群 / Lightly engages core and abdominal muscles 減輕久坐造成的背部緊繃 / Relieves tension from prolonged sitting 促進血液循環與呼吸順暢 / Enhances circulation and breathing --- 注意事項 / Precautions 避免過度拱背或壓迫下背 / Avoid over-arching or compressing the lower back 如有脊椎受傷或腰痛請諮詢醫師再練習 / Consult a doctor if you have spinal injury or lower back pain 保持頸部放鬆，隨呼吸自然動作 / Keep neck relaxed, move naturally with breath --- 小貼士 / Tips 可搭配下背或髖部伸展形成完整放鬆流程 / Combine with lower back or hip stretches for a full relaxation routine 練習時保持均勻呼吸，想像脊柱如波浪般流動 / Maintain steady breath, imagine the spine flowing like a wave 每天練習 5–10 分鐘，有助改善背部僵硬與核心穩定 / Practicing 5–10 minutes daily helps relieve back stiffness and enhance core stability
