Why it matters for golf
Moving between cobra and prayer takes the spine from full extension to full flexion in one rhythm. That restores the thoracic and lumbar motion golf posture pulls from. It also works as a breathing reset between harder training pieces.
Coaching cues
- Press up into cobra with the hips staying heavy.
- Exhale as you sit back into prayer.
- Pause for a full breath in each position.
- Keep the shoulders away from the ears.
Common faults
- Cranking the lower back in cobra.
- Rushing the transition between positions.
- Shrugging through the press.
