[[File:Bhujangasana.png|thumb|right|''Bhujangasana'']]
In Sanskrit '''bhujanga''' means snake and '''asana''' means pose; that’s why this yoga pose is referred to as the '''Cobra Pose'''. This pose mimics the posture of a cobra that has its hood raised. It is the eighth pose in the 12 poses of the Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation yoga routine.
