Bhujangasana yoga steps and benefits
Bhujangasana(cobra pose) yoga - Human beings created Ayurveda to make themselves healthy with herbs grown in nature. While learning from the postures of various animals and birds, man has created yoga. Yoga and Ayurveda are not just to make humans healthy. They actually tell us how to live life and make us healthy from within.
One such posture is Bhujangasana, whose regular practice gives us a lot of benefits. That is why in this article I will tell you about everything related to Bhujangasana, which we need to know before performing this asana.
What is Bhujangasana?
Bhujangasana is the 8th of the 12 asanas of Surya Namaskar. Bhujangasana is also known as Sarpasana, Cobra Asana, or Serpent Mudra. In this posture, the body forms the shape of a snake. This asana is done by lying on the ground and bending the back. While the head is in the raised posture of the snake.
Know some important things before doing Bhujangasana:
The practice of Bhujangasana should be done on an empty stomach. Food should be done at least 4-6 hours before the time of doing the asana. This gives us enough time to digest the food in our stomach. The energy you get from digested food will make you easier to do the posture.
The best time to practice Bhujangasana is in the morning. But if for some reason you are unable to do this asana in the morning, then you can practice this asana in the evening.
