Salamba Bhujangasana or the Sphinx Pose is a classic backbend that opens up the chest and expands the lungs while simultaneously stimulating the lower back area. Since this pose is done on the forearms instead of the palms, it’s suitable for even those with wrist injuries or carpal tunnel syndrome.
