Part 2/7:
To begin, Larkin advises starting in Child's Pose, a calming and restorative position. She encourages practitioners not to worry about getting their hips directly on their heels but rather to focus on relaxing the upper body and deeply inhaling through the nose. This position serves as a foundation to center oneself, allowing sweet side stretches while deepening the breath.
She suggests performing three rounds of deep, intentional breathing, inhaling deeply for three counts and exhaling through the mouth to release tension. Focusing on broadening the back and gently rocking the hips side to side enhances the relaxing benefits of this pose.
