I don't know many, but out of my daily routine I like Cobra as I like to stretch out my back.

cobra should be stretching abs- all of them - higher and lower abs, plus the upper part of thights and front of hip joint.


lower back is squeezed, not stretched  :uhuh:

Yes, I just mean that most ppl spend too much of their day hunching forward and my physio told me this pose as it makes you push your shoulders back and push you back the other way.
