Part 2/7:
The session begins at the back of the mat, where the instructor invites everyone to settle in. Standing with feet together, participants take deep breaths, inhaling warmth and exhaling tension. As the flow progresses, movements transition into planks and back to standing, engaging the muscles rhythmically and preparing for the more intense sequences to follow.
Warming Up and Engaging the Core
The warm-up encourages participants to engage their core as they move through a series of plank variations, touching elbows and knees to activate the oblique muscles. The instructor emphasizes the importance of maintaining physical contact, urging everyone to keep their breathing steady.
