Bhujangasana is one of the most important Yoga poses.
Bhujangasana is also called by the name of Cobra pose. Bhujangasana
helps in stretching the spine, strengthening the back and arms. It also
opens the chest and heart. Start the Asana or the Cobra pose by lying
down on your stomach. Put your legs together and arms at your side and
close to the body, with your hands by your chest. Begin inhaling and
raise your chest and head slowly to the maximum limit it can reach.
While performing the exercise remember to keep your hip muscles tight
so that your lower back is not injured. Keep your head up and chest and
heart out. Breathe quite a number of times and then relax slowly. After
performing the abovementioned steps do the following. Raise yourself on
your arms after going as high as possible. At the same time stretch your
spine a bit more. But remember; go as far as you are comfortable. While
performing the poses keep your pelvis always on the ground. Then breathe
several times and come down slowly.
