Bhujangasana | Cobra Yoga Pose

Bhujangasana – Cobra Yoga Pose resembles a serpent with its hood raised. To perform this posture, lie on your stomach with your toes flat on the floor and forehead resting on the ground. Keep the legs close to each other with your feet and heels lightly touching each other. Place your hands with palms facing downwards under your shoulders, keeping your elbows parallel and close to your torso. Slowly lift your head, chest, and abdomen while keeping your navel on the floor. Pull your torso back and off the floor with the support of your hands.

Bhujangasana is a gentle backbend practiced from a face-down position that warms and strengthens the spine while opening the chest. The term comes from the Sanskrit bhujanga, meaning “serpent” or “snake,” and asana, meaning “posture” or “seat.”
