How to perform Supported Bridge Pose

  1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and both feet planted.
  2. Lift the pelvis just enough to place a stable yoga block on its lowest comfortable height beneath the broad sacrum, away from the lower-back curve.
  3. Let your pelvis rest on the block while keeping the feet grounded; extend the legs only if the support remains stable and the back stays comfortable.
  4. Lift the pelvis to remove the block, then lower slowly to the floor.
