Using a resistance band in bridge exercises can enhance the benefits significantly. Here are some key advantages:

1. **Increased Resistance**: Bands add extra resistance, which can help to strengthen the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back more effectively than bodyweight alone.

2. **Improved Stability**: The band can help improve stability by requiring more activation of the core and stabilizing muscles, leading to better overall balance.

3. **Enhanced Muscle Activation**: Resistance bands provide continuous tension throughout the movement, which can lead to greater muscle engagement and activation.

4. **Versatility**: Bands can be easily adjusted for different levels of resistance, making the exercise suitable for beginners and more advanced practitioners alike.

5. **Joint-Friendly**: Using bands allows for a low-impact exercise that is easier on the joints while still providing a challenging workout.

6. **Functional Strength**: The added resistance can help develop functional strength that translates well to everyday activities and sports.

7. **Variety of Movements**: Bands can be used to modify the bridge exercise, such as adding variations like single-leg bridges or banded hip thrusts, to target different muscle groups.

Incorporating a band into your bridge exercises can help maximize your workout results, making it an excellent tool for strength training and rehabilitation. 🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏿‍♀️🧘🏿‍♀️🏃‍♀️ 🍑

🌟 **Kneeling Side Stretch** 🌟

Ready to deepen your practice? The kneeling side stretch is a fantastic way to engage your core while enhancing flexibility and stability!

🧘‍♀️ **Benefits:**
- Strengthens obliques and lats
- Activates glutes for pelvic stability
- Engages quadriceps for support
- Promotes overall body awareness

✨ **How to Do It:**
1. Start in a kneeling position with one leg extended to the side.
2. Reach your arm underneath your body, feeling the stretch along your side.
3. Hold for a few breaths, then switch sides!

Incorporate this into your routine for a balanced body and mind. Let’s stretch it out! 🌈💪

Beautiful day at the farm, even if it was raining I loved t the sound of the rain against the canopy. Thank you to you are so calming, I enjoyed every second as I’m sure the yogis did too. Looking forward to our next retreat in November it’s going to be so nourishing for the soul as we enter the composting phase of the year and we already know in our heart of hearts that it’s time to rest, digest and take stock and make those plans for the coming year.
Looking forward to welcoming you all again in a slightly warmer environment on Sunday 10th November 10:00-12:30 at the gorgeous residence that is Sportability studio in Dunswell.
