Modern Mobility – Build Your Best Bridge

Description of Build Your Best Bridge

The Bridge, known as the ‘wheel pose’ in yoga, is one of the oldest documented expressions of flexibility. We deconstruct it into its component parts: shoulder, back, and hip mobility. After building up these capacities separately with accompanying strength work, we recombine them into a beautiful bridge. We’re confident this is the most comprehensive bridge program on the internet – so regardless of your level you’ll have all the tools you need to build your best bridge!

Our bridge online program isn’t some gimmicky one-size-fits-all 30 day routine or a simple follow-along YouTube video.  It’s the definitive compendium containing decades of accrued knowledge from a variety of disciplines and firsthand experience coaching hundreds of students.  From this experience, we understand that adults come into flexibility training with a variety of training backgrounds, physical capabilities, and genetic predispositions.

So our program comes with with 6 training blocks containing 18 six-week phases to help you address your unique limitations to achieving the bridge. Through a series of benchmarks, we’ll find your particular limiting factors and train the program template designed to break through plateaus.

So whether you’ve never seriously stretched before or you’re a yogi seeking a more expressive arch, Bridge by M3 will meet you where YOU are at.

What You’ll Learn In Build Your Best Bridge?

Shoulder Overhead Flexibility

Achieving an open shoulder position lessens the stress on your wrists when stacking your upper body in the bridge position.  It also enables further contraction of your thoracic spine, distributing the forces more comfortably across your whole spine.

• 2 programming blocks
• 6 six week phases
• 12 shoulder and wrist mobilizing movements

Spinal Extension

Controlled, segmented arching is key to a comfortable, strong, and enduring bridge hold. Even those with impressive back flexibility will benefit from our methods in active spinal articulation.

• 2 programming blocks
• 6 six week phases
• 11 spinal articulation drills

Hip Extension

A hidden fix to the lowback pressure common in bridging, improving hip extension can both improve your arch and make the bridge more comfortable!

• 8 hip opening exercises
• 4 six week phases

Bridge Conditioning

Through a variety of scaling bridge variations, we build strength in the wrists, arms, and posterior chain.  This approach works well for strength-biased athletes in achieving their first full bridge.  But it also the missing link for flexible individuals looking to learn dance and acrobatic movements that utilize a back arch.

• 2 programming blocks
• 6 six week cyclical, repeatable phases
• Supplemental shoulder mobility training
• Bonus ‘undoing the bridge’ flexion routine
