Bridge poseIn today’s 30 day yoga challenge, Sarah Malcolm will be teaching us Bridge Pose.
Bridge Pose is a great pose to open and lengthen the body, especially the hips and the neck.
Sarah says Bridge Pose is ‘either an option to keep it nice and energized, or maybe a little more restorative’.
Whether you are looking to continue your energy from the rest of the sequence, or keep your body calm, Bridge Pose can do that for you.
Our 30 day yoga challenge
Each day you will be learning a new aspect to the practice, so in a month you will have learned the basic yoga poses in depth and participate in classes or do a proper sequence yourself.
Shockingly to most people, yoga is a meditation that anyone can do. You don’t need a specific body type to master the practice, you just need the right skills – and you don’t need to be bendy! Our 30 day challenge will give you the skills to become a true yogi.
