Movement · Head Over Shoulders
Postural Prone Cobra
Move 5 of 5
Starting position
Lie flat on your stomach, legs together, arms resting by your sides with palms down.
8–10 reps
Breath — Inhale to prepare · Exhale to execute
How to do it
Inhale and hover your chest, hands, and forehead a couple of inches off the mat, rotating your thumbs outward toward the ceiling. Hold, then lower softly.
Keep in mind
Keep your gaze on the floor so the back of your neck stays long and unwrinkled.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
