Part 5/7:
As participants engage in twisting movements to alleviate tension in the spine, the exercises become more complex. Practitioners lock their hands in a prayer position above their heads, a challenging but important posture promoting spinal re-alignment. The rhythmic nature of breath coupled with careful twisting facilitates the release of built-up stress, infusing renewed energy into the body.
Emotional and Physical Release
An acknowledgment of emotional responses to physical exertion is an integral part of this practice. Participants are reassured that feelings of dizziness or discomfort are normal, allowing for self-regulation by taking a moment to lay down if necessary. This emphasis on responsiveness to one's body fosters a safe space where emotional energy may also be released.
