The Yoga Bridge Pose is a great way to open up the chest and hips while also strengthening the back. This pose is great for people who sit at a desk all day, as it can help to counteract the hunched posture that often develops from sitting for long periods of time.
To do the Yoga Bridge Pose, start by lying on your back on the floor. Place your feet flat on the ground, with your knees bent and your feet hip-width apart. Push your hips up into the air, and then slowly walk your feet closer to your body. Keep your back flat, and hold the pose for a few seconds. Then, slowly lower your hips back to the ground and repeat.
