Part 4/7:
Following this, the instructor guides participants into a modified version of belly dancing, emphasizing the upper body rather than the lower. Here, movement is constrained but intentional, targeting specific muscle groups along the sides of the torso. This unique exercise serves to massage the sternum while inviting a deeper awareness of bodily tensions, allowing participants to connect emotionally with their physical states.
Inversions and Core Strength
As the practice progresses, participants move into inverted postures such as the shoulder stand, with modifications offered for those needing additional support. Inversions are known for their ability to refresh both the mind and body, increasing blood flow to the brain and offering an invigorating sense of clarity.
