Yoga Bridge Pose for Athletes

Video Transcript

So another really good way to stretch out the front of your hips and massage muscle is with back bending. So we are going to move into a bridge and then into a wheel. So you can start sitting up nice and tall, feel your seatbones. And then slowly release your torso down to the floor. Hands can come alongside the hips. Walk your feet back. Make sure your feet are stable on the floor. Inhale. As you exhale, lift the hips up. This may be enough of a stretch for you if you feel a stretch in the front of your pelvis, stay here. If you want to move further, you can take your hands alongside your ears, press your palms into the floor and lift yourself up into a full back bend, stretching the whole front of your hips. Opening up, try to scoop your tailbone and draw your chest away from your knees, your knees away from your pelvis. Inhale. And as you exhale tuck your chin in and slowly lower yourself back down to the floor.
