1. The hand position is wrong

In Cobra pose, we need to lift the chest and head off the ground, and before this action, we need to place our hands on the ground, so first we need to make sure that the position of our hands is correct. If we place our hands too far apart, our shoulders will hunch close to our ears. This is a common mistake in Cobra Pose.

The correct approach is to place your hands on both sides of your chest and under your shoulders before lifting your body. Keep our thumbs and chest in a straight line, palms close to the ground.

2. Straighten your elbows and lock them

When doing Cobra pose, we should also pay attention to the position of the elbows. If your elbows are too far apart, you'll have the same problem as if your palms are too far apart, causing your shoulders and ears to be too close together. Therefore, the editor recommends that before doing the cobra pose, you must pay attention to bending your arms and sinking your shoulders and not hunching your hair. Of course, if you are more confident in the flexibility of your body, you can also extend your arms forward to put your shoulders in a more relaxed state, so that the effect of the exercise will be better.
