Shoulder bridge

How to do it

1. Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat, in line with your hips and knees.
2. Breathe out, tilt your pelvis, then peel your seat and low back off the mat until you rest on your shoulder blades.
3. Breathe in at the top. Breathe out and lower your back to the mat one piece at a time, seat last.

Common mistakes

• Hips too high

  Hips too high, low back arching. Stop where shoulders, hips and knees make one line.

• Knees fall out

  Knees falling out. Keep them in line with your hips and feet.

• Feet too far away

  Feet too far away, and the backs of your thighs take over. Bring your heels closer to your seat.
