Part 2/8:
The class begins with a thorough warm-up that encourages participants to gently roll their shoulders back, interlace fingers behind their heads, and open their chest towards the sky. This initial stage focuses on loosening up the body, stretching the calves and hamstrings through forward folds, and incorporating gentle exercises such as marching heels and arm sweeps to create space and mobility.
The session emphasizes the importance of breathing, urging participants to connect their movements with their breath—inhale while raising arms and exhale while folding forward. These foundational exercises not only prepare the body for more strenuous activity but also encourage a sense of calm and focus.
