cobra stretch
Floor spine extension
A cobra stretch is a yoga-derived exercise where you lie face down and push your upper body up while keeping your hips on the ground, arching your back like a cobra raising its hood.
Common in yoga (as cobra pose or bhujangasana), Pilates, and physical therapy for strengthening the lower back and improving spinal flexibility: Hold the cobra stretch for thirty seconds.
