The main thing you need to do get the weight off your arms and onto your legs, right? So while in the "bridge" position, make belly button point to the ceiling as high as possible. Now swing your weight a little bit forward and back. Keep your back from sagging - keep your belly button pointing up. When swinging towards the knees, you will feel that there is hardly any weight on your arms. Continue thw swing towards the knees and try to stand up. Chances are, you will land on your knees the first time you do it. This is a good thing. You got the right feeling and soon you won't be falling on our knees.

Start by getting your hands really close to your feet, then rock your hands up a little bit. Just rock them a little bit up. Do it once, then again, then on three try to stand up. You should have your momentum by that time. Also, in a backbend if you rock your body front to back it'll work just the same.

Make sure you keep your head back and use your stomach muscles. Have someone spot you a couple of time. When you are in your bridge, keep your feet slightly apart, it will be easier to stand up. Shift your weight off of your hands and have most of your weight in your hips and feet.
