In this dynamic posture of ashtanga vinyasa, I am using my both hands for additional support to my quads and extending my spine over to the right leg.
If you feel it’s hard for you to use one hand to lift your leg all the way up , you could use both of your arms to lock your knees as well as strengthen your spine.
You can find a blogpost on this pose on our website, link is in our bio. 🤸🏽♀️

Raksha Bandhan is an integral cultural and emotional holiday. On this day, sisters tie a holy thread known as a “rakhi” around their brothers’ wrists as a sign of their affection and the brother’s promise to look out for them.

Setu Bandha Asana, or Bridge Pose, is a backbend yoga posture that strengthens and stretches the entire spine, chest, and hips. It is an excellent pose for increasing flexibility and range of motion in the spine and hips as well as promoting better posture. This pose can also help to improve digestion, reduce stress, and stimulate the thyroid and abdominal organs.

Suchitra Sen's impending loss is tearing my heart out. How can Bengali cinema's greatest female icon lose out in round 2 itself? I won't let her go down without a fight!
Suchitra Sen entered films as a married woman and a mother which was highly unusual for not just Bengali cinema, but for the whole of Indian cinema as well. In an age when actresses tried their best to hide the fact that they were married and had children, Suchitra Sen was not afraid to swim against the tide.
Hailing from erstwhile East Bengal (present day Bangladesh) she left with her family for present day West Bengal in India following Partition in 1947 and she had to adapt to the dialect and pronunciations used in Bengali films made in India.
Many talk about Suchitra Sen's quiet dignity on screen, but summing it up so briefly does her injustice. She played melodramatic without resorting to melodramatic acting. Her screen presence was so heartbreakingly real and didn't have the theatrical nature that was associated with Indian cinema of that era.
Starting from the 1950s, Bengali rom coms were all Suchitra Sen and Uttam Kumar. They had incredible chemistry on screen. But Suchitra Sen was determined to prove that she was not just Uttma Kumar's other half on screen but a capable and frankly good actress in her own right. So, in the 1960s she went on to do many women centric films opposite other lead actors (such as Bikash Roy and Soumitra Chatterjee), thus giving us some gems of Bengali cinema like Uttar Falguni (1963) and Saat Pake Bandha (1963), the latter won her the best actress award at the Moscow International Film Festival making her one of the first Indian actresses to win an International award.
In Uttar Falguni (1963), she plays a woman who flees an abusive marriage and becomes a courtesan to support her daughter. In Saat Pake Bandha (1963), she plays a young woman whose marriage disintegrates due to her mother's interference. In both these films, Sen doesn't need words, her loss, her pain, her anger are all etched on her face in different moments but never does it fall to melodramatic theatrics.
In Devdas (1955), Bimal Roy's classic production of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's celebrated novel, she plays the role of Paro and is in my opinion the best of the many Paro's I've seen on screen in adaptations ranging from 1936 to 2002 and beyond.
In Aandhi (1975), she played a politician estranged from her husband dealing with a clash of love and career.
Suchitra Sen was a classic Bengali beauty and an icon, not just of Bengal but of India as a whole
