Part 5/9:
Transitioning from breathwork, Salima leads participants into a series of movements designed to unbind emotional tension held within the body. The “butterfly” pose allows for gentle movement of the hips, a common area where emotions are stored, particularly in women. As participants move through spinal flexes, they continue to nurture a connection between their physical and emotional selves.
The practice further includes twisting motions that stimulate release around the abdominal area and the chest, areas often tightly bound by anxiety. By expanding the chest and heart space, participants not only physically loosen restraints but also conceptually open up to potential emotional release, permitting deeper breaths and a heightened sense of well-being.
