Cobra pose in yoga (Bhujangasana)

This is a basic yoga  posture. It's quite simple to perform, particularly if your back isn't too hard and stiff.

Technique

1. Lie on your stomach with your hands resting on the ground next to your pectoral muscles.
2. Put the hands on the floor beneath the shoulders, palms down. Taking a breath, elevate your head and chest while arching your back, without raising your navel off the ground. Make sure your body is stretched as far as it can go.
3. Hold your breath for a moment, then let it as you slowly descend to the floor. Repeat two to seven times, then take a break.

You'll see that this pose stretches the spine in the opposite way from the shoulder stand and is a compliment to it.

Time:

Keep the pose for two seconds, gradually increasing to ten seconds. Do it from two to seven times, adding one time every 14 days.

Benefits:

1. Influences the adrenal glands, providing them with a more abundant blood supply.
2. Tones ovaries, uterus and liver.
3. Practicing the Cobra Pose strengthens the muscles in the back, abdomen, and upper body.
4. Assist in eradicating and relieving irregular menstruation.
5. helps with constipation.
6. Limbers spine.
7. This stance is highly helpful for people who have gas after eating.
8. Great for disc slippage. It modifies spinal column displacements and balances sympathetic nervous system activity.
9. Helpful for back pain brought on by prolonged standing or heavy lifting.

Warning:

Not advised if you have a hernia, gastric ulcer, or hyperthyroidism.Avoid making abrupt, forceful movements when bending the body backwards since this could damage stiff muscles.
