Bhujangasana – Cobra Pose

Benefits:

• improves posture
• strengthens the core

Tips:

• press the tops of your feet into the mat and feel that your quadriceps are engaged
• tuck your tailbone, which will feel as though you’re pressing your pubic bone into the floor
• engage your core muscles, lifting the navel in and up
• lift the chest and roll the shoulders down and back, keeping your neck long and elbows tucked in to your sides
• if you feel pinching in your lower back, don’t come up as high
