Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)

The perfect stretch promotes a sturdy back, abs and strength.

How to do:

1. Lie face down with the tips of the feet flat on the floor and palms on either side of the body.
2. Pull the shoulders slightly back towards the spine.
3. Engage the abdomen throughout the exercise as it keeps the lower back protected.
4. Lift the body into a cobra pose while keeping the chin up. Use the hands for support, but without putting unnecessary pressure.
5. Hold the posture for 15 to 30 seconds, before gently releasing the body to the floor. This is a good morning yoga for kids to practice daily.

Benefits: Strengthens the spine; stretches the chest, shoulders, abdomen, and buttocks; stimulates the abdominal organs and releases fatigue and stress; good for breathing problems like asthma

Caution: Ask your kid to arch the back as much as the body can take. Every child has different flexibility, so let them take it slow.
