Part 2/7:
The flow evolves as participants exhale into a standing forward fold, which prompts them to release tension from their necks and backs while walking out their knees. The instructor emphasizes the importance of letting go before progressing to a shoulder stretch with interlaced fingers behind the back, enabling a deeper release within the upper body.
Engaging the Core and Lower Body
Following the warms-up, the class transitions into floor positions that engage the core and glutes extensively. The instructor leads participants through a plank position routine, incorporating knee-to-chest repetitions to fortify both the upper body strength and the core. Each movement is accentuated by the breath, creating a rhythm that enhances mindfulness throughout the practice.
