Part 2/7:
After a few moments of focused breathing, inhaling and exhaling deeply, participants rubbed their palms together to generate warmth and placed them over their eyes—a calming gesture that signaled the start of their physical practice.
Building Physical Awareness
The exploration of movement began with a series of poses designed to enhance body awareness and flexibility. As participants raised their arms and performed side stretches, they were guided to breathe deeply, emphasizing the importance of connecting breath with movement. The instructor provided cues to look up towards their hands and to stay mindful of their form throughout each stretch.
