Yog Deep With Gayathri Ramesh – SETHU BANDHA SARVANGASANA– Episode 21

Setu Bandhasana (SET-too BAHN-dah-suh-nuh) realigns the spine, eliminates rounded shoulders and relieves backache. It strengthens the rhomboids, quadriceps and the hip flexors. It brings blood to the pineal, pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands, helping them work more efficiently. This pose stretches the abdominal organs, which in turn improves digestion. It also opens the chest, strengthens the lungs, relieves respiratory conditions and is good for the thyroid.

Setu bandha sarvangasana is one of the basic backbend poses that prepares one for advanced backbend versions. The term is derived from the Sanskrit setu, meaning “bridge,” bandha, meaning “lock,” sarva, meaning “all,” anga, meaning, “limb,” and asana meaning “pose.”
