cat stretch
Arched back pose
A cat stretch is a yoga pose or exercise where you arch your back upward while on hands and knees, mimicking a cat stretching after sleep.
The movement typically alternates between arching up (rounding the spine) and dipping down (hollowing the back), often called cat-cow when paired: Start your morning with a few cat stretches to loosen up.
