Pose/Counterpose

After doing Bridge Pose, don?t forget to do a counterpose.

You can either draw your knees to your chest and hug them with your arms; or you can roll onto your side while keeping your knees bent into your chest.

Support

If you find it difficult to maintain Bridge Pose, or if you want to improve your ability in the pose, try placing a yoga block under you. You should place the block comfortably beneath your waistband and then place your arms on the floor by your sides, palms down on the floor.

Lower Back Strength

Bridge Pose is wonderful for strengthening your lower back. But you need to elevate as much as possible to gain this benefit.
