Namaste, friends!

Today's word is भुजङ्ग. It's pronounced bhu-juhn-guh in English and means cobra! You see this word used in combination with असन (asana, or pose) to make भुजङ्गासन, or cobra pose. Say it with me now — bhu-juhn-ga-suhn-uh. Bhu-juhn-ga-suhn-uh!
I prefer this pose to upward dog because it keeps your lumbar spine supple and supported. Cobra pose has your pelvic bones in contact with the mat, feet touching the mat behind you, either supported 20% through the arms or without. The erector spinae muscles are hard at work and this pose is great for those with forward-leaning shoulders and a closed chest. It's sister pose (to me) is snake pose, which I'll come to in a later post.
You've got another Sanskrit word under your belt! For tips on learning how to read and write in Sanskrit in its native script, read my post here.
Thank you! Until next week.
