Part 4/7:
One of the foundational exercises introduced in this series is the Diagonal Stretch. This gentle movement invites participants to lie on their backs while sustaining a sense of calmness and serenity. The exercise resembles a graceful stretch commonly associated with cats, where the arms and legs are moved in a slow and deliberate manner.
Throughout this practice, emphasis is placed on consciously breathing and allowing the body to flow naturally. Participants are encouraged to maintain this stretch for up to five minutes on each side, gauging their comfort and connection. Such mindfulness cultivates a deeper understanding of the relationship between one’s physical body and breath.
