Depression is an illness that affects your brain. It is your reaction to something sad, loss of someone, or dejection. When these feelings aggravate and become intense, it leads to a medical condition called clinical depression.
This asana gets its name from the Sanskrit words ‘Setu’, which means bridge, ‘Bandha’, which means a lock, and ‘Asana’, which means pose. This pose resembles the structure of a bridge, and therefore, it is named as such. This pose stretches your back, neck, and chest and relaxes your body.
Method:
- Begin the asana by lying flat on your back.
- Bend your knees and place your feet on the floor hip-width apart. Make sure that your ankles and knees are placed in a straight line.
- Let your arms rest beside your body, with your palms facing downwards.
- Inhale, and lift your back (lower, upper, and middle) off the floor. Roll in your shoulders, and make sure your chin touches your chest without you having to move it. Let your shoulders, feet, and arms support your weight.
- Firm up your buttocks as you tighten them. Make sure your thighs are parallel to each other and the floor.
- Interlace your fingers and push your hands harder to the ground to lift your torso higher.
- Hold the posture for at least a minute. Breathe slowly and deeply.
- Exhale and release the pose.
