New Yoga Bridge Pose Video for Back


Yoga has a wide range of exercises to help the back in all kinds of way. Whether you are looking to strengthen your back, cure back pain or increase your flexibility, there are plenty of yoga poses and exercises to choose from.

For those familiar with the Chakra System of Kundalini Yoga, it is quite understandable why the back is so much the focus of yoga postures.  It is because the all important spinal cord runs up the back and the spinal cord houses the 3 key psychic channels.

These 3 psychic channels are responsible for the movement of Kundalini (life force) up and down the spine.  These channels are the ida, pingala and shushumna.  Which are the female/lunar, male/solar and central channel respectively.  Working on the back and spine helps to clear blockages along these channels and facilitates the flow of energy through all the important centers (chakras), helping to balance and heal them.

Yoga Bridge Pose Modified (Illustration #3)
       

      A. How to Do Bridge Pose:
  • For the basic bridge pose, stretch your legs forwards and place your hands directly under your shoulders.
  • Then raise your butt and torso up off the ground have it make a straight line all the way through to the top of your head.  The final posture is shown above in illustration #1.
  • Hold this posture doing Breath of Fire or Long Deep Breathing.  You will feel it working your lower back, arms, shoulders, neck and hamstrings.
  • Advanced Yoga Bridge Posture - Illustration #2:  In illustration #2 above I have shown an advanced variation of this posture.  Here you raise one leg up keeping it straight, while balancing yourself on the other leg.  Switch legs between rounds.  This pose will be tougher on the lower back and hamstrings, and only practice it when you feel good and ready.

  • Beginner's Yoga Bridge Posture - Illustration #3:  The easy variation to Bridge Pose is also excellent for you back and body, so don't worry if need to do bridge pose as demonstrated above by my son Shivum in Illustration #3.  Here you have your knees bent at 90 degrees and are balancing on your hands and feet.  In this posture, to really work your lower back, thrust your hips high into the air, so your torso is parallel to the ground.

  • Bridge Pose with Movement Variation:  Kundalini, Flow and Power Yogis know that using movement can often enhance the benefits of a particular posture, and that is certainly the case with Bridge Pose.  To really have bridge pose work your back, arms and legs, raise yourself up and down for the duration of the exercise.  So from the starting position, you want to come into bridge pose, and then lower yourself to the floor and then come into the pose again.  This movement can be done for the easy or full version of bridge pose.

    • B. Duration for Bridge Pose:  15 seconds - 3 minutes.

    C. Benefits of Bridge Pose:  

    • Excellent for strengthening the lower back.
    • Helps to stretch the lower back and alleviate lower back pain.
    • Good for the immune, digestive and reproductive systems.
    • Strengthens the arms, legs and shoulders.
    • Good for your back and spine.

    D. Practice Tips and Cautions for Bridge Posture:

    • There are even more variations to bridge pose.  One is with fingers pointing back instead of forward and reaching up as far as possible with your hips, thus arcing your back up.  Another is letting your head drop back to stretch the neck.  Finally, you can also push your feet down towards the floor.  All these variations are valid and useful.

    • If you have back problems, it is very important to progress slowly with these postures and exercises.  The back needs to be strengthened over time so it can regain its health and flexibility.  It is best to work with a yoga teacher when using yoga postures to deal with difficult back issues.

    • Some strength is required to practice bridge pose, so make sure you work your way up gently if you are weak or unfit.
