The Cobra pose, Bhujangasana helps align your spinal disks, open up your heart, and strengthen you back. It also strengthens your system and your eyes.
Inversions give your body a break from its normal upright state. Inversions help blood flow the opposite way in your body, flooding your brain and upper body with nourishment and giving your poor legs and feet a break from all that downward flow.
Standing poses easily morph into forward bends. Forward bend poses can be standing or sitting poses. Forward bends stretch the back of the body and are essential for lengthening the muscles of the back, legs, shoulders, neck, and spine. Forward bends also activate many of the internal organs as the front of your body folds over itself. That same folding inward can also help the mind focus inwardly for greater relaxation and a reflective, inner-gazing state.
