Cobra pose, aka baby cobra pose or snake pose, is one of the most frequently practiced yoga poses. This is a great beginner backbend that helps lengthen and strengthen the spine, among other benefits of cobra pose. As part of the Sun Salutation, the cobra yoga pose provides an opportunity to gently warm up the back muscles while stretching the front of the body, chest, and shoulders. The Cobra pose offers the opportunity to explore several fun variations while playing with various breathing techniques.
