Bhujangasana (Serpent posture)
*Sthiti: Lie prone on the blanket, keeping the legs together, chin touching the ground,
and the soles facing up. Stretch the hands straight forward alongside the head resting the
palms on the ground.
- Bring the arms back to the level for
the last rib bone. Keep the hands bent at elbows; least pressure to be exerted on the
hands. Maintain the elbows touching the body; let in not spread out.
- Raise the head first and then the
upper portion of the trunk slowly, just as the cobra raises its hood, till the navel
portion is about to leave the ground. Arch the boreal spine well. Keep the body below
navel straight in tough with the ground.
BENEFITS:Helps in keeping the dorsal spine elastic and strong. Backache
due to overstrain can be relieved. Helps in considerable reduction of the abdominal fat.
