Setu Asana, or the Bridge Pose

is a rejuvenating yoga posture that not only strengthens the body but also connects the mind and soul. Rooted in ancient yogic traditions, this pose serves as a bridge between physical vitality and mental tranquility, providing a myriad of benefits for practitioners.

1. Physical Foundation: Setu Asana primarily engages the muscles of the core, thighs, and glutes. The posture involves lifting the pelvis towards the sky, creating a bridge-like structure with the body. This action not only tones the muscles but also enhances flexibility in the spine, improving overall posture.

2. Heart Opening: The pose is renowned for its heart-opening qualities. As the chest expands and the shoulders draw beneath the body, Setu Asana promotes openness and receptivity. This can be particularly beneficial for those seeking emotional release and a sense of vulnerability in their practice.

3. Therapeutic Benefits: Setu Asana is therapeutic in nature, offering relief from stress, anxiety, and mild depression. It stimulates the thyroid gland, helping regulate metabolism, and can be a valuable asset in managing conditions like asthma and high blood pressure.

4. Balancing Energy: Practicing Bridge Pose is believed to balance the energy flow within the body. It is associated with the Vishuddha Chakra, located at the throat, fostering communication and self-expression. Regular practice may enhance one's ability to articulate thoughts and emotions.

5. Mind-Body Connection: The rhythmic breathing synchronized with the gentle rise and fall of the spine fosters a profound mind-body connection. Setu Asana encourages practitioners to be present, promoting mindfulness and aiding in the release of tension stored in the body.

How you do a simple thing says a lot about how you will a complicated thing. Same with the practice. The technique that you set up in Simple Bridge will carry forward to your technique in other backbends. Start with good technique and let it build rather than pattern bad technique and have to fix it later. Try this— 1. Relax the glutes 2. Use the strength of the legs and the pelvic floor to gently lift the hips 3. Engage the upper back muscles as the sternum reaches towards the chin 4. Internally rotate the shoulders and root them into the ground. 5. Keep the navel and lower abdomen drawn in while breathing gently with the diaphragm 6. Gaze towards the nose Tip: if your back feels good and your legs are burning after then you are on the path of good technique.

There is no easy way to say this but the reality is that the Ashtanga Yoga Method is really hard. The longer we practice the more we forget what a marathon the Primary Series really is. For total yoga beginners this can seem totally dreadful and defeating. The Ashtanga Yoga Method is meant not to be easy on the first try. This is one of the lessons in the practice. Instead of making the method easy, the practice asks us to make our mind and thinking strong. If we accept our failures and learn to love ourselves anyway, then we are practicing a valuable skill. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #primaryseries #bridgepose #setubandhasana #backbend #yogamanila #yogaph #yogaphilippines #grammerph #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #pinoygram #feeltheyogahigh #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/B83XygznCc2/?igshid=1akeld140f0ex
