Supported Bridge Pose with the Buttafly can transform your experience of this back bend and help you develop flexibility and strength.
Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana)
The Sanskrit name means "Bridge Formation Pose" and reflects how the body creates a strong, stable bridge (setu) that engages your entire body (sarvanga).
Bridge Pose can be performed dynamically or held for a period of time – either actively or supported with props.
Key Benefits of Bridge Pose
This pose combines strength and "openness".
- Gentle spine extension with proper support:
- Enhanced chest opening without lower back strain
- Improved shoulder mobility with a stable foundation
Key Benefits of using the Buttafly in Bridge Pose
Carefully positioned, the Buttafly cradles the pelvis while avoiding direct pressure on the sacrum.
- Makes the pose accessible for those with sacral sensitivity
- Enables longer, deeper holds with stable support
- Perfect for Restorative and Yin Yoga practices
