From Sarvangasana /Shoulder Stand
to Setu Bada Sarvangasana /Bridge Pose
The safest way to pass from Shoulder Stand (Sarvangasana) to Bridge Pose (Setu Bada Sarvangasana) without harming your spines is to neutralize.
After Shoulder Stand (Sarvangasana) as you are lying at your mat
Bend you knees and place both of your legs to the right side.
Open your hands at the height of your shoulders
Turn your head on the left side. Stay for couple of minutes and switch.
Do the same at your left side .
Prepare your spine with the half Bridge Pose (Setu Bada Svargasana)
Stay for 5 breaths then lay at your back and place your feet at the edges of your mat.
Bend your knees and let them touch each other.
Now you are ready for practicing Setu Bada Sarvangasana.
Enjoy!
Navasana / Boat Pose
A great pose to strengthen your abdominals without harming your lower back
is achieved as follows:
Sit on your mat and put your feet parallel on the ground
Place your arms stretched out next to your knees
Lean back slightly, activating your abdominal muscles, and push your chest out
Rise your right leg slightly bent and then your left leg and bring them both in a parallel position
Tighten your abs and push your chest out as much as possible
If this position feels comfortable then stretch your legs without losing your initial positiion
Take 5-10 deep delightful breaths and feel comfortably in the boat pose
Relax. Put your feet together and lean over the legs
Repeat 2 more times
With an emphasis on breathing techniques and meditation, we promote thoughtful and reflexive yoga to promote both physical and mental well-being.
