Bridge Your Way

Last week we talked about WHY we love Supported Bridge.

This week, let's talk about making it work for YOUR body.

Because, as you probably know by now, at Hippie we are big fans of options. And props. Lots and lots of props.

Want more comfort?

Grab a folded blanket, bolster or ball instead of a block. Maybe you want less height. Maybe you want something softer underneath you. Maybe today your body is saying, “Absolutely not” to that block.

Listen to it.

Want to explore a little more?

Try extending one leg long and then the other. Reach your arms overhead. Change the position of your feet. Sometimes one small change can make the pose feel completely different.

And here's the important part:

One version isn't better than another.

Using a blanket isn't the “easy” version. Using two blocks doesn't earn you extra yoga points. And you definitely don't need to pick the version that gives you the biggest stretch.

The best version is the one that works for your body TODAY.

That's one of our favorite things about yoga. The pose doesn't get to boss you around. We change the pose to fit the person doing it.

We'll be playing with different versions of Supported Bridge all month.

Grab some props. Try some things. Find your version.

And remember: comfort is Queen.
