How to do a cobra pose

Lie face down with hands under your shoulders.
Press your pelvis and legs into the floor.
Inhale and straighten your arms to lift your chest.
Keep a slight bend in the elbows.

Form tips

Do not push up too high - keep it comfortable.
Roll your shoulders back and down.
Engage your back muscles, not just your arms.
