Bridge Pose Modifications and Tips

Today's video is another Yoga Pose Tutorial where I show you how to properly get into commonly used yoga poses, and give you modifications and tips on how to do them. Today's pose is «Bridge Pose» or «Sethu Bandha Sarvangasana». I use «Bridge Pose» often, and it stands to have many benefits for your body. «Bridge Pose» stretches the chest, shoulders, abdomen, hip flexors, neck, and more. «Bridge Pose» also strengthens the ankles, glutes, pelvic floor, and more. It can also be beneficial for improving your posture, improving lower back pain, and helping circulation. I like to use «Bridge Pose» during the cool-down portion of class, but there are times I use it as a heat-building pose. It can be used either way, depending on what you are looking to get out of your yoga practice. Doing these pose tutorials is important because if you're not executing poses properly, you can hurt yourself.

If you ever have a question on how to get into certain poses, feel free to leave a comment and I will help in the best way I can. I know some people have asked for inversion tutorials (headstands / handstands), but I'm a little bit on the fence about teaching them because you can REALLY hurt yourself, but if I get enough requests, I will consider it.
