Description Bhujangasana or cobra pose is a beautiful
backbend that opens the front of the body and energizes the body.
How to:
Lie on your belly with your feet touching and pointed towards the back of your mat. Bring your forehead to the mat and your hands next to the ribcage with the fingers spread and palms pressing firmly into the mat. Hug your elbows in toward the body.
As you inhale, gently press into the hands and straighten the arms; bring the chest forward and the shoulders back, creating even length through the spine. If it feels ok for your neck, move your gaze up.
Draw your shoulders back and down and breathe into the front and back of your body. Keep the tailbone moving down.
After several deep breaths, slowly come out and repeat this backbend desired.
Benefits Cobra pose strengthens the spine and back and
stretches the chest, belly, and shoulders while stimulating the
abdominal organs. Bjujangasana can also help relieve fatigue.
Contraindications Carpel tunnel syndrome, back injury, pregnancy
