Cobra posture is one best posture





Cobra posture is one best posture to take as a complimentary pose after the seated forward bend. Let's look at the benefits of this beautiful yoga posture.
Benefits of Cobra Posture:

It increase flexibility around the lower back and waistline if done correctly and also activates the organs of the abdomen
The cobra posture Strengthens the arm, shoulders and abdominal muscles for good
It also strengthens  the heart muscles and the chest cavity
It  brings regularities to menstrual circle
The cobra for me is a mood enhancer and stress manager

Our world is full of stress. Start the cobra posture by lying down flat on the floor facing down.
Place your palms under your shoulders with, legs together and hug your elbows against your rib cage.
Remember all poses are to be done according to one's pace;
Anyway, the first face of the cobra posture is the baby cobra, for beginners mostly but then it's important to start your cobra postures in faces, so follow me let's go through different faces of it.

So here inhale deeply, and push your upper body up as you look up, first leave your elbows on the floor, exhale and remain here for few seconds…then inhale and gently drop as you exhale.



Do this again, inhale and move again into the pose like before but this time push a little higher that your levels are off the floor. Hold this here, press your upper thighs into the floor so your lower back feels the stretch, throw your head and neck gently back in such way that your low back will also feel the stretch. Now breath in deeply hold your breath for few seconds and gently drop out of the pose as you exhale.
Relax here rest for a while.
Second face;
shift your palms directly under your shoulders, now inhale deeply and gently push your upper body off the ground, exhale here and maintain this posture. Watch your breath come and go…then now inhale deeply hold also for few seconds and finally drop gently as you exhale. Relax and rest. Please do go for the child's posture as a compliment to this.
