Cobra Stretch

How to do it

1. Lie face down with the legs long and the tops of the feet on the floor.
2. Place the hands under the shoulders, elbows close to the body.
3. Press the hands down and lift the chest, keeping the hips and thighs on the floor.
4. Keep the elbows soft and the shoulders away from the ears. Do not lock the arms as in a full upward-facing dog.
5. Hold for the set time, then lower with control.
