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
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!!
Love this channel. Step by step instructions helped me to avoid injuries and strain on body parts which I used to experience before…
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.
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.
Digital Description obstructs the video, please take note of it
If this is done correctly, it should feel like heaven. You shouldn’t have any back pain. If you do, please ask an experienced yoga teacher to assist you.
Very well done, great instruction for correct body alignment..
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!
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
