Hii wellcome back baby make back pain yoga please………………..
I really appreciate the way you demonstrate this asana, I start doing yoga in 2015 in rishikesh and then start teaching hatha yoga and it’s related practices in rishikesh and Goa, I like your video, it’s simple explanation that anyone can understand and apply, keep posting your videos. Namaste
I have a book with photos of this pose where all the models have their legs out away from the body, not knees stacked over ankles. The whole body has an even arc, head to feet. It almost looks like dwi pada viparita dandasana. Many of the photos show it unsupported (no hands on floor). I can’t even begin to contemplate it…but I like this version you show here!
Thank you for in hell exhale breath AdrieneBenji you are my dog
Love this channel. Step by step instructions helped me to avoid injuries and strain on body parts which I used to experience before…
I like where you provide the specs of the yoga position before you perform it
Hi everyone, hi Adriene, I’m a beginner. Is it wrong/dangerous to keep the feet farther from the sit bones? If I keep the heels where my fingertips land I can’t lift up much, because I feel a lot of pressure on my knees. On the contrary, the farther I keep my heels the easiest is for me to lift up…
Dear Sandeepji, how many repetitions of this asana should one do each day?
Hello sir..I have disc bulge problem with l4 l5 s1 and severe canal stenosis.. Can i do this bridge pose.. Also I have a doubt that cobra pose does not suits for disc bulge problem. Is this correct r not? Or can i do both poses
Plz Tell me the yoga poses which relief my pain.
Hey Adrienne,
Shared two of your videos on my new blog post “Beginner Yoga Workout to Grow Your Glutes” http://www.lovebrainfood.com/?p=350
Love your clear and concise video tutorials and always recommend my clients to go watch you if travelling abroad. Couldn’t do it better myself so why bother!
That’s all and hope you have a lovely day!

Only use money for the ship thing
This is an awesome channel. Detailed description, liked the Benefits part that comes on the wall when describing it. Please continue doing this.
I really wish I had found these videos back in 2013 and started my home yoga trip with your excellent instruction. Alas, better late than never, eh. Thank you!
Very good channel, detail description and very usefull. Thank so much
Bridge building 101! The idea for using blocks in a more restorative pose is something new I learned today, thank you
This pose hurts my lower back and I can’t seem to feel what bridge pose is supposed to make me feel. Any tips?
SIR YOU ARE TELLING BRIDGE POSE IS VERY NICE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO CLEAR MY DOUBT WHEN WE DOING THIS POSE SOME YOGA TEACHERS SAID BOTH TWO HANDS SUPPORT ON BACK SIDE LIKE PILLARS IS IT CORRECTOR NOT.
I really love Adriene’s videos but why, oh why must you be so weird about stuff concerning our genitalia? When you first said that it’s “very therapeutic for the women” I honestly wasn’t sure if you meant period pain or something else. Then, in the outtake ( 9:40) you slip out “lady problems”, and now I’m like… 85 % certain that you meant menstrual pain, but still kinda confused… Damn, lady, your videos are so lovely, I just wish you treated our natural body functions just like you treat breathing or stretching muscles: Use their real names! <3
Hi, I have a question. If I am not supposed to squeeze my butt, where does the strength come from? From the feet?
Omg I haven’t seen a can of Charles chips since I was a little kid
In bridge pose, when I relax the glutes I feel a little pressure on my lower back. How do I counter this?
Great lesson thanks! My cats also loved going back and forth under my bridge ❤️
Let’s learn bridge Thank you so much Adriene, namaste
hello! i do have a question, when i am extending into the bridge pose i can feel pressure building on my right knee. i dont have any sort of injury or anything and i am fairly new to yoga in general. is this normal for beginners? and if so, is there any streches i could do to help loosen up my knees?(im not sure if thats even a thing but if there is any pointers you have id behappy to hear)
thank you for these videos, your instructions are great and i really enjoy all the breathing reminders as well:)
lazy for 3 days, then rock climbing one day, then lazy another day, and now getting back into daily yoga. been finding it hard to stay disciplined in the last few days
when I do this pose I am feeling some pain in my knees. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, my heels are at the edge of my fingers and hip width apart. please help!
Thank you so much for providing a video with such great detail to make sure that I know what to focus on to do the pose correctly!
What I like about her is she is just being her self she isn’t trying, like other women who try to look perfect or hot, she just is take it or leave kinda. Very refreshing. Just being herself honestly without superficial nonsense, time and and place for that two but….
ok so, going “deeper” doesn’t mean like to lift your shoulders and bring your head off the mat and arch your back with your hands placed by your head to a point where you are looking upside down…? thats not a “bridge” pose.. more like an “arched bridge” pose? haha
Adriene, I was wondering, I’ve been watching many of your videos and was curious to know, what is the purpose of doing everything calmly and mindfully? Is the purpose to have our body naturally relax? I’m a scientist so I guess I am curious from a real biological perspective if you have one. Thanks for the videos.:)
omg you made me laugh so hard in that pose, i almost fell over!
Hi Adriene! Thank you for all you bring to the world and for inspiring us all! I would love a foundations class in wheel pose too if that’s a possibility. Backbends were one of my favorite things to do as a kid, and I would love to see if I could work towards that again (maybe not, but I’d like to try!). Thanks and much love to you amazing human! xo
Is this a good pose for Sciatica pain? I heard it somewhere.
The bridge pose gives me a good burn when i lift up my back.
. I’ve been starting from the very beginning with everything since I’ve found YOU One of my favorite poses is wheel. Would love to have your foundation version of wheel. No words to thank you for changing my understanding of yoga and my life.
Wow. That was deep. Thank you so much. Deep knees stretch an front g-spot, womb, lower tummy bellow the belly button, the whole of that area from the pubic bone up to my belly button. Great. Needed that stretch a lot. Thank you sis.
Thank you for going over the details of how to do each pose for each of us to find what we can get out of it personally.
Yoga is a perfect life balancing art which upon consistant practice not only rejuvenates one’s biological sectors, but also combats the day long accomplishments of Academic life, Career life, Domestic life and social life equally! This sethu Bandanaasan has its own magical benefits. Do it consistently, relaxingly and systematically!!
I don’t know how she manages it but I always smile after her videos.:D
My friend introduced me to your yoga videos and they are great! I’ve been struggling with the wheel pose. If you could post an episode on how to work up to wheel pose, that would be great. I know how to get into the pose, and have done it before, but don’t think I have enough muscle power to push up.
This will help me in my next class and hopefully beyond with how to push myself to get even more out of this pose.
Your personality comes through on your videos. You are serious but also fun. I love it. Keep being you and you will go very far my friend. Thanks for sharing as always.Namaste
Perfectly awesome…..Step by step details of the aasana with all the benefits and contraindications will make it easier for the learner to eliminate mistakes and attain perfection
FAVOURITE POSE TO DATE: FEELS SO GOOD. I did feel activation in my quads though.
I don’t know if that was from trying to focus on the inner part of my feet when lifting the hips up.
Ok, I always squeeze my glutes. I tried not to and it’s very hard when pressing up hip points. I found it easier when my hands were interlaced under me to not squeeze.
Hi Adriene I loooove yOU! silly me the bridge pose great lol
I would so love to do the crab again which idid as a child but I can’t lift my head other than practicing the bridge what should I do?
Relax the glutesbut keep squeezing or hugging the inner thighs in towards one another. Also, scoop the tail bone up to elongate through the lower back. How is that? Think about lengthening your lower back and tail towards the backs of the knees/front of the mat. Use your foundationanything that is touching the mat to press up and out of and support! xo
Digital Description obstructs the video, please take note of it
YES, the intro song is from my dear friend Shakey Graves. The song is called House Of Winston which is not yet on an albumso I (we) are very lucky! 😉 He is the real deal. Amazing amazing. Everyone LOOK HIM UP! xo
Hah! Yes, another way to interpret “Find what feels good!” 😉 xo
Love the song from the intro. Is that Sharkey Graves? What song? Thanks
