Part 4/7:
As the practice continued, yogis moved into Utkatasana (Chair Pose) and Parivrtta Utkatasana (Twisted Chair Pose). These poses involved twisting the torso, which enhanced spinal flexibility while building strength. The attentive emphasis on posture helped maintain a connection between physical exertion and controlled breathing.
The Importance of Core Engagement
The instructor led the group to perform various squatting poses and stretches like Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose) and Malasana (Garland Pose). Participants were taught to engage their core muscles to ensure stability while holding challenging positions.
