Tip of the Day

" The gradual and gentle backbend of cobra pose can serve to broaden the chest and collarbones, help alleviate back pain, and provide an opportunity to strengthen the entire spine and abdominal muscles. Begin by lying face down on your mat with your entire body extended. Press your legs and the tops of your feet firmly into the yoga mat and bring your legs to a hips-width distance. Bring your hands palms facing down directly underneath your shoulder blades. Press through the hands to lift the upper body and come into a low cobra pose. "
