Setu Bandha Sarvangasana, also known as Bridge Pose, is a popular asana practiced at Artha Yoga. In this rejuvenating posture, practitioners lie on their backs with knees bent and feet planted firmly on the floor, hip-width apart. With arms resting alongside the body, they engage their core muscles and lift their hips upward, creating a gentle arch.
Artha Yoga embraces the therapeutic benefits of Setu Bandha Sarvangasana. As students elevate their hips, this pose activates the spine, stretches the chest, and opens the heart center. It promotes deep relaxation and reduces stress, making it a perfect choice for those seeking tranquility and emotional balance.
The skilled instructors at Artha Yoga guide participants through this pose, emphasizing proper alignment and breath awareness. They encourage students to explore variations, such as interlacing the fingers beneath the body or using props like yoga blocks for added support. With personalized attention and a serene ambiance, Artha Yoga provides a nurturing environment for practitioners of all levels to cultivate their mind-body connection through Setu Bandha Sarvangasana.
