Bridge, also called Setu Bandhāsana, is an inverted back-bending asana in modern yoga as exercise.
Move Background
This energetic backbend opens up your chest and strengths your neck and spine.
Step by step guide
- Lie face up, knees bent, soles of the feet pressed flat on the floor, with arms at the sides.
- Keep feet parallel at hip-width apart and heels under the knees.
- Push upper arms upwards to expand your chest.
- Grounding your upper arms, put pressure on the heels and lift your hips off the floor, keeping your knees vertical.
- Interlock your fingers under your back and hold the position.
- Stay in the pose anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute. Release with an exhalation, rolling the spine slowly down onto the floor.
