BRIDGE POSE
The bridge posture is one important aspect of back bend that can serve as a complimentary pose to some poses like moving from the shoulder stand and plow. You can practice the bridge in different ways, the bridge has different variations, it's energy generating pose that also has the calming feeling at the same time, it works more on the thoracic spine, upper bac muscles, hip flexors.
