Welcome to Day 16 of our 21 Day Yoga Challenge! Today’s video features a few variations on bridge pose including a variation that makes the neck and throat super happy.
There are a plethora of benefits to practicing bridge pose, including:
- reduces anxiety and stress
- opens the heart center, allowing you to more easily slip into being compassionate (to yourself or others)
- massages the organs in the body
- stretches the quadriceps
- reduces insomnia
- feeds the thyroid
- improves digestion
As you practice today, try bringing something beautiful into your yoga space — your dog, flowers, a candle, etc. Make your space special.
I hope you are enjoying our Challenge. Next up for tomorrow, I’ll send you an audio meditation.
Namaste,
Suzanne

Hi, Suzanne, I love this! My neck and shoulders always get so uncomfortable in the bridge pose, but with the blocks under my feet–no discomfort! I can hold the pose as long as the rest of my body wants to. Thank you for this!
It’s awesome, isn’t it Susanna! I definitely prefer this variation too. Thanks for commenting. Namaste, Suzanne
