The word Bhujangasana is a combination of two words, i.e., bhujang, meaning cobra snake, and asana, meaning posture [1]. It is commonly called cobra pose because the posture represents a cobra snake ready to strike at its prey. The practice of back extension asana may help in strengthening the lower back and abdominal muscles [2], and improving spinal flexibility [3]. This asana was first depicted in the Gheranda Samhita. This posture is said to be igniting, as it increases physical zeal [4]. It is a reclining, back-bending pose in Hatha Yoga that allows to stretch the entire upper body.
