Part 4/7:
As the session evolves, lunges are introduced. The left foot steps back to form a crescent lunge, an empowering position that encourages the opening of the hips while simultaneously engaging the glutes and stabilizing the core. This repetitive structure fosters strength, not just physically but mentally, creating resilience through the practice. Each side is explored, with meticulous attention to alignment and breath, keeping awareness front and center.
Moments of Reflection
After an energetic sequence, a pause is encouraged, providing a moment for hydration and reflection. The instructor emphasizes that the intensity of the poses is not the goal but rather the embodiment of strength and endurance. Acknowledging the effort gives way to self-compassion.
