Bhujangasana in English is also known as Cobra Mudra. It is made up of two words Bhujanga means a big snake and Asana means an asana, hence it is known as Cobra Mudra or Bhujangasana.
This is basically a back-bending posture. While practicing, a person looks like a big snake that's why it is named as cobra pose.
This pose relaxes extra burden from your spine and also takes you to the level of mental peace.
It is one of the old poses and it has also come in the 7th posture of Suryanamaskar.
