Yoga Level 1: Cobra

Begin lying face down, forehead to the floor.

Place your hands under your shoulders with your elbows pointing back.

Inhale.

Exhale: Let your shoulder blades slide down your back as you press through your hands, lengthen your spine, and lift your head and chest up and forward.

Your legs can be slightly apart but they should be engaged.

Support this move by sending your tailbone toward the floor and lifting your abdominal muscles.

Hold for 2 to 3 breaths.
