Yoga bridge pose

I managed my first bridge pose all on my own today. Big milestone for me.  I remember practising for months with Asokon (ex yoga teacher) and not being able to do it.

Benefits of bridge post:

• Starts to change the balance between strength and flexibility of the musculature of your physique.
• Props up postural positions
• Promotes a balanced position of your pelvis that prepares your postural muscles for productive curative work.
• Stirs up and make the core abdominals stronger for controlling your pelvic tilt. Make the low back muscles stronger.
• Helps you get rid of unwanted muscle tension, for instance, in certain muscles of your shoulders and in the front of your body.
• Utilizes both front and rear muscles of the body to even out your trunk.
• Cultivates in the practitioner an awareness of his / her body in space.

 Pity I don’t have enough moolah to sustain both yoga and tennis.
