If the arms should not be used in Cobra, why not lay them straight back along the body?
Thanks

Cobra has many variations. The foundation pose does not use arm effort as snakes have none. The placement of them varies but the effort should be minimum. Keeping the arms to the side is an option. Keep in mind that all asanas have a foundation position and variations from that. Without understanding the foundation the poses will tend to become confused. Let us therefore clarify the basics of poses before doing creative ventures. namaste mukunda
