Part 2/7:
Day 13 starts with a heartfelt welcome—Satnam—setting the tone for a supportive and empowering environment for the yogis. The session begins with grounding breaths, encouraging participants to rub their hands together and place them at the sternum, breathing deeply before transitioning into meditation through om-ing.
The first posture is the rock pose—a seated position on the heels—where yogis engage in breath retention, interlacing their fingers to foster shoulder relaxation and tension release. This practice not only opens the chest but reinforces the importance of breathwork as a cornerstone of the session. After a series of energizing bumps with the hands above the head, participants feel the immediate effects of releasing tightness and encouraging better posture.
