Yoga for Beginners: The Cobra Pose
12/20/2009 | 12:00 AM
Many of the classic yogic postures are based on nature: trees, mountains, birds and animals - including the cobra. The cobra pose stretches the shoulders, chest, arms, and abdominal muscles, while strengthening the spine and firming the buttocks. The stretching also relieves stress and improves breathing by expanding the chest. Practice this pose every morning for five days straight, and you’ll feel a drastic increase in strength and energy.
