#Pilates #Exercise to Love: Bridging

Bridging is one of all-time favourite exercises.  What are some of the differences between the bridge we do as part of our #Pilates workout and the bridge that you may have performed doing #Yoga?

One big difference is that in #Pilates, we only lift to the bottom tip of our shoulder blades, whereas in yoga - now I have to be careful here because I cannot speak for all yoga methods, but in my experience the lift goes up to the tops of the shoulders.  

Try it both ways and see how our muscles work differently to support us in these similar, but still very different bridges!
