Common mistakes
You lead with the head and neck instead of starting each shape from the tailbone.
You make both shapes shallow and nearly identical instead of committing to a real arch and a real round.
You let the breath drift out of sync so the movement loses its rhythm.
What to focus on
Initiate from the pelvis and let the wave travel up the spine to the head last.
Let the inhale create the cow and the exhale create the cat — breath first, shape second.
