Pause & Pose: Supported Bridge

By: The Honest Company Apr 23, 2015
Pause & Pose: Supported Bridge

No matter what your lifestyle is like, back strength is extremely important for your overall health. Today our favorite yogi Jessica James is showing us how to safely stretch our backs using a support block. This allows for a restorative stretch, with less risk of injury.

Supported Bridge Pose

Setu Bandha Sarvangasana

Level 1

Benefits: Back bending unsupported requires strength, flexibility, and coordination. When you add a block to this pose you are allowed to open your back slowly and safely.

Honest Tip: Supported bridge is a wonderful way to practice the backbend rules without risk of injury. In all backbends engage your low belly, relax your glutes, and allow your inner thighs to soften toward the floor.
