   Cobra Pose ( Bhujangasana ), is a back bend that stretches the muscles in the front of the torso, the arms and the shoulders. 
   
   It is an excellent pose for increasing flexibility of the spine, as well as reducing back pain.
   
   Cobra Pose can boost energy, fight fatigue and build confidence. 
   
   It improves posture and counteracts the effects of prolonged sitting and computer work.


   To do the pose,  Just lie on your stomach, toes pointing straight back, hands underneath the shoulders, elbows close to the body. Legs engaged, pull the belly in and up.
   
   As you inhale, lift your chest from the back of your heart. Roll the collarbones up and firm the shoulder blades into the upper back, slightly down along the spine.
   
   Lift your head last. Open your heart, with no weight in the hands yet. Extend out through the toes. Hold for 1 to 5 min.
   
   Come down again as you exhale. You can repeat
the Pose 3 times.
