Sarpasana (Snake Posture)

Steps to Do Sarpasana – Snake Pose

Lie on your stomach
Keep your legs straight and toes pointing outward. Rest your hands alongside your body.

Interlock your fingers behind your back
Bring your hands behind you and interlock your fingers just above the hips.

Inhale and lift your chest
As you breathe in, raise your head, shoulders, and upper chest off the ground.
Keep your elbows straight and arms stretched back.

Lift your legs
Slowly raise both legs together as high as possible without bending the knees.
Your body weight should rest on the abdomen.

Hold the posture
Stay in the final pose for 10–20 seconds while breathing normally.
Feel the stretch in your spine, chest, and thighs.

Exhale and return
Gently lower your legs, chest, and head back onto the mat.
Relax your hands and breathe normally.

Repeat
You may repeat the pose 2–3 times, depending on comfort.

Tips for Safety
• Avoid if you have severe back injury, abdominal surgery, or pregnancy
• Practice slowly without forcing the stretch
• Stop immediately if you feel pain or discomfort

Benefits of Sarpasana – Snake Posture

• Strengthens the spine:
Sarpasana gently contracts and activates the back muscles, improving spinal strength and posture.

• Opens the chest and shoulders:
It expands the chest area, helping improve breathing capacity and relieving tightness in the shoulders.

• Improves flexibility:
Regular practice increases flexibility of the back, hips, and abdominal region.

• Massages abdominal organs:
The mild pressure on the abdomen stimulates digestion and supports better functioning of internal organs.

• Relieves back pain and stiffness:
It is especially helpful for people with a sedentary lifestyle or long working hours.

• Boosts energy and reduces fatigue:
The posture encourages blood circulation, helping reduce tiredness and increase vitality.

• Supports mental relaxation:
As it opens the chest and improves breathing, it helps reduce stress and promotes emotional balance.
