Cobra Pose and Upward Facing Dog Pose are two commonly practiced yoga poses that may appear similar but have distinct differences. Here's a simplified explanation for beginners:

Cobra Pose:
* Lie on your stomach, lift your chest while keeping the lower body grounded.
- Strengthens the lower back and abdomen.

Upward Facing Dog Pose:
From a plank position, lift your entire upper body, including the thighs.
Stretches the chest, arms, and shoulders.

Key Difference:
* Cobra Pose focuses on lifting the chest while keeping the lower body grounded.
- Upward Facing Dog Pose lifts the entire upper body, including the thighs.
Cobra strengthens the lower back and abdomen, while Upward Facing Dog primarily stretches the chest, arms, and shoulders.
