Part 6/11:
The movements transitioned into side bends and further spinal exercises, reinforcing flexibility. Inhaling to lengthen and exhaling while bending to the side allowed participants to engage their muscles intricately and released built-up tension. The instructor continually reminded them to keep their eyes closed, highlighting the importance of turning inward during this journey.
Embracing Stability: Tabletop to Cow Pose
The transition to tabletop position led to a fluid practice of cow and cat poses. Participants breathed into the motions of arching their backs, then rounding them, further focusing on their breath and body’s alignment. This back-and-forth dynamic not only warmed up the spine but also encouraged a deeper internal connection.
