Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)

• Lie on your stomach with your toes flat on the floor and forehead resting on the ground.
• Keep your legs close together, with your feet and heels lightly touching each other.
• Place your hands under your shoulders, keeping your elbows parallel and close to your body.
• Taking a deep breath in, slowly lift your head, chest and abdomen while keeping your navel on the floor.
• Keep breathing. If possible, straighten your arms by arching your back as much as possible; tilt your head back and look up.
• Ensure that your feet are still close together. Keep breathing.
• While breathing out, gently bring your abdomen, chest and head back to the floor and relax.
• Don’t overdo the stretch or overstrain yourself.
