Glute bridge

Glute bridge could be seen as one of the very first forays into backbending that puts much more emphasis on using the glutes (as the name suggests) rather than loading anything into the back or shoulders as would be required for other poses. This foundation exercise is best paired with some of the other foundation or beginner backbending poses to help build up overall capability towards the bridge pose.
