Part 2/7:
To begin the session, participants are encouraged to find a comfortable position seated on their mats. In a cross-legged stance, hands resting on their knees, they are guided through a series of deep breaths. Inhaling deeply to lift the chest and gently exhaling to round the spine creates a calm yet alert presence. Adriene invites the community to set an intention for their practice—a single word or phrase that resonates with them, enhancing the personal connection to the session.
