\n

Little Bridge Pose is an advanced variation of bridge pose. All backbends even beginner ones have their challenges. In this version, the legs are extended, making the glutes and thighs work even harder to keep the hip thrust. That makes Little Bridge pose a great butt burner exercise, a favorite pose of dynamic and fitness yoga classes. But Little Bridge pose is also popular with restorative and therapeutic yoga teachers as the pose includes a chin lock that massages the thyroid \u00a0responsible for metabolism and tissue health.<\/p>\n

Begin on the back with the knees bent and feet flat on the mat, hips width apart. This is the start position. Roll the arms and shoulders under the body. Clasp the hands together. Flatten out the neck and back of the head. Tuck the chin towards the chest. On the inhale, press the foot soles and arms down. Lift the hips skywards on the exhale. Push the chest towards the chin, arching the back. Extend one leg and then the other along the mat, heels pressing into the ground.\u00a0 Hold the pose for 5 breaths. To exit the pose, step one foot at a time back to start position. Unclasp the arms and slowly lower the body down, one vertebrae at a time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
