is a rejuvenating yoga posture that not only strengthens the body but also connects the mind and soul. Rooted in ancient yogic traditions, this pose serves as a bridge between physical vitality and mental tranquility, providing a myriad of benefits for practitioners.
1. Physical Foundation: Setu Asana primarily engages the muscles of the core, thighs, and glutes. The posture involves lifting the pelvis towards the sky, creating a bridge-like structure with the body. This action not only tones the muscles but also enhances flexibility in the spine, improving overall posture.
2. Heart Opening: The pose is renowned for its heart-opening qualities. As the chest expands and the shoulders draw beneath the body, Setu Asana promotes openness and receptivity. This can be particularly beneficial for those seeking emotional release and a sense of vulnerability in their practice.
3. Therapeutic Benefits: Setu Asana is therapeutic in nature, offering relief from stress, anxiety, and mild depression. It stimulates the thyroid gland, helping regulate metabolism, and can be a valuable asset in managing conditions like asthma and high blood pressure.
4. Balancing Energy: Practicing Bridge Pose is believed to balance the energy flow within the body. It is associated with the Vishuddha Chakra, located at the throat, fostering communication and self-expression. Regular practice may enhance one's ability to articulate thoughts and emotions.
5. Mind-Body Connection: The rhythmic breathing synchronized with the gentle rise and fall of the spine fosters a profound mind-body connection. Setu Asana encourages practitioners to be present, promoting mindfulness and aiding in the release of tension stored in the body.

The most important thing to remember about yoga is that the practice itself is proof that we can do it. It has been done for thousands of generations before us. And, as we continue on our own journeys, we will continue to inspire others to step on the mat and take up the practice after us. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogadudes #yogamen #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogaphilippines #yogaeverywhere #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #sthirabhaga #vasisthasana #armbalance #sideplank #yogaph #igersmanila #grammerph #fitspo #pinoygram #yogamanila #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #advanceda (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_11lPPxc5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I read a sad piece article a few weeks ago about how hard it is to make real friends as an adult, but that actually runs counter to my experience, largely thanks to yoga. I’ve made many permanent friends in almost a decade that I have been practicing, my yearly trips to Mysore, classes that I conduct, and just hanging out at the studio. These aren’t “situational friends,” either, but people with whom I can have deep discussions, if the need for such a thing actually ever manifests. Adulthood places limitations on your social life, but yoga can remove them. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #mensyoga #boysofyoga #yogaph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #intermediateseries #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #suptavajrasana #backbends #grammerph #pinoygram #fit #fitspo #strong #madaboutyoga #igyoga #instayoga #yogaeverywhere (at Siargao Island Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch11FqHJ7_8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
