Part 4/7:
Next, Larkin introduces shoulder shrugs to release built-up tension in the upper body. Breathing through the nose, participants lift their shoulders on the inhale and drop them on the exhale, all while keeping their internal gaze focused on the Third Eye Center. The addition of a mantra, "Sat Naam," adds a rhythmic element to the practice, enhancing the energetic connection and flow of the class.
Gentle Neck Movements
Following the shoulder exercise, the practice transitions into head and neck circles. Larkin advises moving with slow, deliberate motions to maximize the benefits of stretching the neck and releasing tension. This mindfulness encourages participants to tune into their bodies and cultivate a sense of awareness and connection.
