Bhujangasana Yoga Asanas Benefits (Yoga postures)

Bhujangasana Yoga postures

Bhujangasana actually means the Snake Pose or Cobra Pose. This pose is famous for strengthening the abdominal muscles and back muscles. It is the seventh asana in the famous Suryanamaskara sequence.

Lay on the floor with face down; make the palms flat on the floor, next to the chest. Note that your elbows are close to your body. Make sure that the heels and toes are together. For beginners, it is good to place the nose or chin on the floor. Once you are comfortable, you have to place the forehead on the floor. Inhale slowly and stretch the entire body, and lift the head up and expand the chest forward. You have to roll upwards by using the back, neck and head. Then look upwards at 45 degrees. The elbows should be positioned right next to your body. The abdomen has to press down on the ground. Hold this position up to 15 or 30 seconds. While releasing, breathe out and slowly return to the original position.
