Bridge Pose Part 3: Breath, Pelvic Floor & Trauma-Sensitive Yoga


Listen Later

In the final episode of our three-part series on BridgePose (Setu Bandhasana), Jane and Sarah dive into the subtle but powerful connections between breath, pelvic floor health, and trauma-sensitive yoga.


We explore how breathing on the inhale vs. exhalechanges your Bridge experience, how to support students with wide vs. narrow ribcages, and why Bridge is one of the best places to practice full core breathing. You’ll also learn how supported variations like Stirrup Pose can help release chronic holding patterns, calm the nervous system, and makepelvic floor work safer and more effective.
