Part 5/7:
Following the cobra, practitioners sit back in child’s pose, arms stretched forward. This position is important for grounding and reflection after the more intense postures. The session encourages engagement with breath by imagining oneself as a flower opening to the sun—symbolizing growth and nourishment while fostering a deep connection to the present moment.
The Importance of Rest
As the session winds down, practitioners are guided into a pose where they interlace their hands at their lower back, lifting the arms to enhance the heart opener while breathing deeply. This phase offers a gentle reminder of the physical and emotional connection points cultivated throughout the practice.
