Supported Bridge
Featuring Mindy, NS Lead Teacher
Supported Bridge pose not only stretches the chest, neck, and spine but also rejuvenates the spirit by increasing circulation and energy flow throughout the body. As you lift your hips toward the sky, allow your shoulders to ground into the mat, creating a stable foundation. Feel the expansion in your chest and the gentle opening of your heart center. With each breath, visualize releasing any tension or stress, inviting a sense of calm and clarity. This is a moment to honor your body’s strength and resilience, embracing the support it provides as you journey through life.
