How to Cobra Stretch

Starting Position

Lie face down on the floor, bringing your legs together and placing your palms on the floor beside your shoulders. Prepare with your forehead lightly resting on the floor.

Proper Form

1. Support your body with your palms on the floor and slowly lift your upper body.

2. Open your chest wide and keep your gaze straight ahead or slightly upward.

3. Maintain the feeling of stretching in your lower back and abdomen.

4. Hold for 10 to 20 seconds, then slowly lower your upper body back to the floor.

Breathing Technique

Inhale while lifting your upper body, and breathe naturally while maintaining the position.

Precautions

Do not suddenly bend your waist; lift it slowly. Keep your shoulders away from your ears to avoid hunching. If you feel pain in your lower back, lower the height and continue.
