The practice kicks off by slowly lifting the arms overhead, followed by a series of forward bends designed to loosen the spine and deepen the breath. As the instructor encourages participants to fold forward and touch their foreheads to their knees, he emphasizes the importance of proper alignment and core engagement.
Next, the group transitions into a high plank position, showcasing the strength required for control push-ups. This part of the routine focuses on building foundational strength while maintaining a stable breath, allowing participants to float into downward-facing dog.
Throughout the warm-up, Nagendra reminds practitioners to breathe deeply, continuously drawing attention to their bodies and maintaining the connection between movement and breath.
