Bhujangasana /Cobra Posture
I rise up from the center of my Being to meet life with an open Heart..'
Stressed out ?Sick of that tight, achy back? Then this pose is one you should give a try!
it is significantly usefull at relieving discomfort in the muscles of the back,
neck and abdomen.Furthermore, a little time spent in cobra pose can go a long way in alleviating stress, anxiety and depression.
In Sanskrit "Bhujanga" means serpent or snake and "asana" means "pose" hence the english term , "cobra pose".
This invigorating backbend was named such because Bhujangasana reflects the posture of a cobra that has its hood raised.
Lie on your belly. Bring your forehead to the floor.Bend your elbows, place your palms near the lower ribs, and keep your lower arms perpendicular to the floor.
Exhale, press down with your hands, lengthen through the side body, and lift the head of your arm bones up and away from the floor.
Draw your shoulder blades onto your back.
Press all ten toenails down and draw muscularly from your feet up into the core of your pelvis.
Anchor your tailbone down.
On your next inhale, press your hands down and lengthen from the waistline up into the armpits.
Lift your torso up and pin the heads of your arm bones back.
From the core of your pelvis extend up the spine through the crown of the head.
Press your knuckles down.Hold for a few breaths.
Exhale , release, and rest on your belly.
Namaste !
