Cobra pose could help you un-hunch after a day at your desk

Welcome to our weekly Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing with you one of our favourite exercises – how to do them, what muscles they work and why they should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: cobra. 

You might think that you’ve nailed the classic yoga poses, moving through down dog and yogi press-up during a vinyasa flow without worry. Even so, refreshing your form is never a bad thing, especially when it comes to backbends such as cobra. 

The heart-opening posture is hugely beneficial but can also be stressful on your spine if done wrong.
