Shoulder supported bridge pose stretches your neck, chest, and spine. It reduces backache as well as headache and improves your digestive system. This thrilling pose will provide greater flexibility to your spine and you will be fit emotionally as well as physically. This pose is also known as Setu bandha sarvangasana and helps your blood flow and makes you feel more thrilled.
Procedure to Practice Setu Bandha Sarvangasana Yoga Pose
- Start with lying down on the floor and bend your knees.
- Keep your arms close to your body and keep your feet flat on the floor.
- Make your hips up in order to stretch good your chest
- Hold on this pose for 5-6 breaths
- Repeat again from the other side.
Please give your advice about how to breathe on the way up, and down. I have found that different teachers don’t always do the same… personally I often ask people to contract mula bandha, and exhale coming up (from the root to the crown of the head, feeling each vertebra ). And I like coming back on an exhalation, too.
But if you want to teach it on a dynamic way (doing several u and down before keeping the asana), it is good to bring the arms up and down too, and then it seems more natural to breathe in, coming up…
Then what do you mean by “reeat from the other side” ??
Thank you
