Bridge Pose Degree of Difficulty: Beginner to Intermediate
How to Strike It: Lie on your back with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle, feet parallel on the floor and hip-distance apart. Once you have settled in, press your feet evenly into the mat and lift your spine off of the floor, pressing your hips up. Scoop your tailbone under, and if you like, wriggle up onto the shoulders, interlacing the fingers and clasping the hands underneath you. Slowly lower down, one vertebra at a time.
Butt Benefits: Ingber says that less experienced yogis should use a block, which "supports you and eases weight from the shoulders." Your upper bum will thank you for holding this position for five deep breaths. If that's easy for you to maintain, try raising your right leg for five breaths and repeating on your left leg.
