On day 19 of our 30 day yoga challenge, I will show you how to do cobra pose. This short yoga video will demonstrate 3 modifications of cobra pose. We will go over the benefits of cobra pose as well as the specific benefits of cobra pose for back pain. 

Cobra pose can be particularly challenging if you have wrist problems, if you are pregnant, have stomach issues, are lack the upper body strength. The modifications shown in this video will help you to find your way around these limitations. The first modification I show uses a wall, which will eliminate the need to lie on your belly, put weight on the wrists and the need for upper body strength. The second modification moves the hands forward which also allows for less upper body strength which will give you time to build your strength. The third modification uses a bolster which is also easier in terms of upper body strength and bending your body backwards.
