Full cobra is best
Personally my back hurts just laying flat on my stomach, let alone trying to flex it upwards and rest on my elbows. I would like to do other exercises that are easier for me so I can work up to this.
redundant, coulda been 1min, thx for the insights still
Very nice, it helps alot thanks
I feel pain on the left side of my lower rib cage, seems to extend to left side of my lower back…i will try this 👍👍👍
Most of the videos ive seen about cobra are only minute. This one is the only one that satisfy me. 👍👍👍
It doesn't seem to stretch my back muscles or do much at all if I'm using my arms – it just kind of kinks my spine in perhaps the wrong place and feels uncomfortable (I have a severely thin L5 disc). If I take my arms away completely and use my back muscles to lift my body up to the half cobra position then I get a good workout with 10 reps or so. Is this a different exercise entirely when I lift using my back muscles? I do get relief from my back pain which seems to stem from overly tight back muscles
thx
I can do this with hands tuck near my waist, having straight arms. Is it wrong?
It's a very good explanation. Probably the best available in YouTube
Is this recommended got those with lumbar bulging disc
Im very new to yoga poses and i have searched online which one is connected with my zodiac sign Gemini and the cobra is one of them, this video helps me alot! this person deserves a gold medal. Thank you.
My kness hurt when l do this (pressure on knees). What am l doing wrong?🤔
In greek please 😂😂😂😢
thank you sir
thank u, this is so simple❤
Thank you
Thank u sir for sharing this vdo..
I been on the floor doing this for hours, can't get up
I had a herniated disc a few years ago, and my physiotherapist gave me an exercise that was very similar to this, but instead of holding the position, I had to do pushups (20, with a pause after the 10th). It helped a lot.
why i have pain on my arms😭
These are great. I’m a bus driver so I’m sitting and taking bumps all day. I do my full cobras every morning. ❤🐍
I had chronic back pain in the early 1990s. A physio' advised this stretch followed by flexion every couple of hours. I have to say, it seemed to make things worse. I suspect the benefits derive from the sub-maximal stretch position, because the Cat-Cow exercise (which avoids extreme stretching) works well for me.
I would appreciate your thoughts on the following treatments for back pain –
1) Static Brachiation: Hanging by the hands from a pull-up bar (or similar), allowing the spine to elongate and align. It's rather akin to traction, but gravity does the work.
2) Inversion Table: Same principle as static brachiation, but more expensive! I used one of these about twenty years ago. Weird sensation when you start but you adapt quite quickly. After time, I used to watch TV for an hour or more while on the Inversion Table. (Rarely went fully vertical; 30 degrees from vertical was enough for me!)
Appreciate your thoughts, please. 🙏
Grt relief.thanx
Nice information
Yoga textbooks 2000yrs old mention this position as "Bhujangasana"
My arms are not slanted like yours when I do this, it's vertical straight below my shoulders for 30secs and my lower back hurts when I do it. I've been doing this following an app stretching avatar. So wondered if I was doing it wrong?
thank you so much❕I wasn't able to do the complete position but this helped me a lot
Isn't this sort of back hyperextension which is bad for your back ? I don't know is hyperextension is good or bad ? If bad how could I fix my back with this position.
How many times every day ? I understand I have to do 30 secondes 3 time, but how many times. thanks you
Hi Leon, we hear experts all the time cautioning us not to arch the back while doing supine abs exercises, front raises, barbell/dumbbell biceps etc irrespective of whether or not one has back pain. However, this cobra pose does arch the back deliberately and that too for quite a few seconds. Why in most exercise, it is advised even to healthy individuals not to arch and why you have this exercise on this channel. There must be a valid reason. Just want to to know it. Thx in advance
The cobra so helps sciatica.
I couldn't do this for months. But I started by lying flat on my tummy for 10 mins each day and built up. It's amazing
If it hurts my back while doing this. Should I do it?
Thanks
Thanks for the instruction.
Should I user my arms or back muscles more
Is there any way to do this without hurting your back. I've seen nobody explain any kind of Cobra form that prevents back pain
I feel my backbone is pressed and I feel some pain. Is it alright?
Would this exercise worsen anterior pelvic tilt?
Best tutorial for cobra!
Exercise name- Cobra stretch
Meanwhile me- it should be Caribonara stretch
hi, the cobra stretch is very painful for me. Should I continue doing it ?
