Technique Tuesday - Bridge Pose Part 2

Well hey, friend! Welcome to another Technique Tuesday post. Make sure to sign up for our emails to get these delivered to your inbox each week!

Let’s continue our Technique Tuesday series where we look at Bridge Pose, sometimes also called glute bridges or pelvic thrusts, depending on the setting you are in. These are great movements to help mobility, strength and flexibility in the glutes, hips and low back. The great thing is that these are suitable for almost everyone, except those with uncontrolled high blood pressure, pressure issues in the head or eyes, or are in the late stages of pregnancy, where the baby is already engaged. However, the wonderful thing about these is that even if you have back pain, or have a hard time getting down to the floor, you can do these in a bed or even on a couch, provided you are stable on that surface. If you are in acute pain, I would recommend not doing this until your pain has subsided, and of course, always talk to your doctor, primary care physician, physiotherapist or another doctor if you have any health concerns or questions about the suitability of this movement for your body.

This is a series of videos where each video shows different modifications to help you find a comfortable fit for your body - remember, all bodies are different, which means our movements will look and feel different, too! **Hint: for videos with closed captioning, see this link here: https://vimeo.com/821098198/6e77c5e2e7?share=copy
