How to do cobra pose

Stretching your entire upper body can occur in the heart-opening backbend called Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose). By bending and straightening your elbows, you may modify the backbend's intensity to fit your demands.

 

As a warm-up and preparing for more difficult backbends like Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward-Facing Dog position) and Ustrasana (Camel), this position generally occurs early in the session.

 

The Sanskrit term for snake, bhujanga, originates in the root bhuj, which signifies "to bend or curve." In Indian mythology, the king cobra is highly esteemed for its ability to move forward while raising the upper part of its body straight. Try to mimic those who are powerful other than graceful movement of this animal while you practice Cobra Pose.

With your hands behind your shoulders and your elbows close to your body, lie on your stomach with your toes pointed straight back. Pulling in and up with the belly, legs engaged

Raise your chest from behind your heart to take in the breath. Firmly press the shoulder blades into the upper back, rolling the collarbones up and down the spine a little.

Raise your head last. Let go of whatever weight in your hands and open your heart. Stretch through your toes.

Breathe out and then descend once more. Do it twice.

When you stand up for the third time, fully express the position with your hands. Raise your head and then your chest from the back of your heart. Reach the highest position at which it feels comfortable.

Bhujangasana, above all, serves to promote blood circulation. It may also assist to strengthen the spine and tone the belly. A full asana that improves physical and spiritual wellness is bhujangasana. It could help your digestion and benefit your back at the same time.

By doing this you can be able to maintain your body.
