Bhujangasana (cobra position) is a hatha yoga position which strengthens the spine; stretches chest and lungs, shoulders, and abdomen; firms the buttocks; stimulates abdominal organs; helps relieve stress and fatigue; opens the heart and lungs.
Traditional texts say that Bhujangasana increases body heat, destroys disease, and awakens kundalini. Bhujangasana is often followed by Salabhasana.
