The bridge yoga pose is a beginner backbend pose that opens your chest and stretches your thighs. This pose primarily uses back muscles, helping to strengthen your back, glutes, and hamstrings. It can also relieve tension and fatigue in your back. Health benefits of the bridge yoga pose include improved heart health, relief from lower back pain, better posture, enhanced balance and coordination. For osteoporosis patients, this pose can improve posture, reduce pain, and enhance strength and balance, reducing the risk of falls. However, if you have a neck or back injury, you should avoid this pose as it may exacerbate your injury.
