Benefits:
Bridge Pose opens the chest and strengthens the back. This pose gently stretches the chest, shoulders, and abdomen while strengthening the mid- to upper-back muscles, glutes, thighs, and ankles.
As a backbend, it can improve posture, counteract the effects of prolonged sitting or slouching, and may help relieve lower back pain and ease kyphosis. Additionally, because Bridge Pose brings the head below the heart, it offers many of the benefits of conventional inversions and can serve as an alternative to headstands or shoulder stands.
