Cobra Pose ("Bhujangasana")

Description

Lie prone with your knees straight and your feet pressing into the floor, then place your hands on either side of your ribcage, elbows close to your body. As you inhale, gradually press into your hands to lift your chest higher, staying within a comfortable breathing range and keeping your pubic bones and lower belly in contact with the floor. Initiate the movement by drawing your shoulders up, keep the back of your neck long, and gaze forward or slightly upward. Maintain a calm, steady breath without forcing the range of motion.
