Part 2/8:
Before we begin, ensure you have a few essentials: a blanket and possibly a block. These props will support your alignment and offer comfort throughout various poses. As you roll the blanket lengthwise and place it along your spine, particularly at the sacrum, you'll begin to feel a stretch that allows for a restorative backbend—a beautiful way to open the heart.
As you settle down, invite your awareness to your breath. The practice today emphasizes the three-part breath, which will guide you in deepening your connection to your pranic energy. Inhale into the lower abdomen, fill the ribs, and then expand into the chest. This breath not only oxygenates your lungs but invigorates your spirit.
