Question

Name the asana in which waist and arms look like a cobra? *​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bhujangasana is a back bending pose which is also a part of the traditional Surya Namaskar sequence coming at step 8, and step 20. In Sanskrit, the word Bhujangasana comes a combination of two words- 'bhujanga' which translates to 'cobra' or and 'asana' meaning 'posture'

Answer 2

The required name of the asana in which the waist and arms look like a cobra is 'bhujangasana.'

• The word 'asana' literally means 'posture.'
• While we practice various asanas, we maintain different postures, and accordingly, the asanas get their respective name.
• Every asana has a distinctive technique to perform and, thus has a unique posture.
• Every asana benefits some specific parts of the body and has its own limitations. Thus practicing asanas demands training by a professional.
• The words 'bhujanga' in Sanskrit means 'cobra'.
• Thus the word Bhujangasana is a conglomeration of two words 'bhujanga' and 'asana' meaning the posture of a cobra.
• Bhujangasana indicates the pose of a cobra with its hood above the ground.
• Bhujangasana is one of the essential parts of the famous Surya Namaskar sequence and is beneficial to the health of the spine.
• So we practice Bhujangasana in a posture bending our spine back from our waist level lying on the ground upside down, while the rest of the body up to legs are on the ground.
