Part 6/8:
The session progresses to include dynamic movements such as twists to both sides from Chair Pose, which enhances spinal flexibility while remaining stable in the lower body. A cycle of Halfway Lift and Chaturanga prepares the body for more challenging poses, building the strength necessary for upward and downward movements.
Targeting the Lower Body: Lunges and Standing Splits
As the practice deepens, sequences involving lunges and standing splits emerge. The class emphasizes leg strength and alignment, focusing on the hip positioning and body balance. With each transition, the instructor reinforces the need to honor individual body limits and encourages modifications wherever necessary.
