Part 2/7:
The routine begins with Child's Pose, an essential grounding position that encourages relaxation and introspection. In this pose, practitioners either bring their knees together or spread them wide, allowing comfort to define their approach. Larkin emphasizes the importance of deep, mindful breathing as participants inhale to expand their low back and exhale to release tension, thus inviting a sense of calm from the start.
The initial breathing sequences consist of inhaling for a count of three, followed by a gentle exhale for the same duration. This rhythmic practice enables participants to connect with their bodies, effectively anchoring them in the present moment.
