Yoga Poses Bow Pose (Dhanurasana)  Dhanu means bow. The arms are used like a bow-string to pull the head, trunk and legs up together, resembling a bent bow. Bow Pose stretches the front of the shoulders, the hip flexors and the spine in a backbend.
 Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana I) Bhujanga means a serpent. Move into this pose gradually, so that the spine slowly progresses into a lengthened, even and controlled C-curve. The full pose with the head falling back resembles a serpent about to strike.
Frog Pose (Bhekasana) Bheka means frog. This is a very deep stretch for the quadriceps and psoas muscles. Maintain control with the core so that you dont collapse into your lower back.
Standing Back Bend This pose is nice for those who sometimes experience discomfort or pain when moving into a back bend. It allows you to move into the back bend slowly, with control and awareness.
