About the Pose
Commonly referred to as “Bridge pose”, your body takes the shape of a bridge. It can be considered as an inversion because your heart is below your diaphragm. The placement of the block is a reminder to press your feet down to lift your sacrum. As you actively use your legs, it can build strength in your quadriceps and inner thighs. This backbend focuses mainly on your mid back.
Benefits from the Pose
This pose creates an opening in your chest and groins, while simultaneously engaging and strengthening your legs, promoting flexibility and stability throughout your whole body.
By tucking your chin toward your chest in a subtle lock, this posture stimulates and supports your thyroid gland, which plays a vital role in regulating metabolism and energy levels.
