Yoga Pose Video Tutorial for Cobra Pose
Bhujangasana
“Bhujangasana is a yoga pose we humans become familiar with very early in life, even before we begin to crawl. When we first roll over onto our bellies and begin lifting our heads and then our upper bodies off the ground, we develop the two concave curves of our spine and open ourselves to the outer world. That world—like the serpent—is filled with beauty, wonder and the occasional bite.” ~ Charlotte Bell
Cobra Pose is a gentle backbending yoga pose that is safer for more bodies than some of its more extreme cousins, such as Full Wheel. Cobra Pose has many benefits, including strengthening erector spinae muscles and preparing the body to move into deeper backbends later on in class, or later on in one’s yoga practice.
Follow along, as YogaUOnline’s Jasmine Punzalan offers specific points of alignment and muscular engagement to safely move into Cobra Pose in this online yoga video tutorial.
