Part 3/7:
- "Ong namo gurudev", which translates to bowing to one’s inner guide, sets the tone for mindfulness and intention setting.
This moment of tuning in allows participants to focus on their breath, becoming more aware of their bodies and surroundings.
Practicing the Cobra Pose
The cobra pose requires precision and attention to body alignment. Those participating are guided to:
Lie on their bellies, with their hands positioned beside the chest and legs together.
Engage the thighs, navel, and rectal area while lifting the chest, ensuring the forearms are supporting rather than bearing the weight.
Stephanie encourages practicing the pose mindfully, with long, deep breaths for up to a minute and a half, emphasizing that adjustments can be made to ensure comfort.
