The practice began on the mat with participants lying flat on their backs. Adriene emphasized the importance of organic movement, encouraging yogis to connect with their bodies rather than adhering strictly to predefined poses. She guided everyone to press their heads back into the mat while tucking the chin into the chest, creating an alignment that helps open the chest and broaden the collarbone.
As participants extended their legs and reached their fingertips overhead, they engaged in a full-body stretch, fostering flexibility and relaxation. This initial stretch set the tone for the practice, focusing on mindful movements that stimulate the digestive tract.
