Bridge Pose Part 2: From Consolation Prize to Power Pose

In Part 2 of our three-part Bridge Pose series, Jane andSarah reframe Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana) as much more than a consolation prize for Wheel. This episode explores how to adapt Bridge for different body types—whether you’re hypermobile, stiff, or somewhere in between—and how to use props, variations, and therapeutic approaches to makethe pose effective and safe.

You’ll learn:

• How "relative flexibility" is key to why certain cues don't work for you
• Cues for stiff vs. hypermobile students
• Variations like Baddhakonasana Bridge, Chatush Padasasna, and Dynamic Bridge
• How to challenge yourself with one-legged bridge and blanket slides
• How too much or too little ribcage expansion affects cervical spine positioning and safety

Whether you’re looking to make Bridge more restorative ormore challenging, this conversation will give you practical ways to teach,practice, and enjoy Setu Bandhasana.
