Part 3/7:
Moving gradually into a side stretch, Larkin guides learners through walking their hands to the side, which allows for a beautiful opening of the rib cage. This segment not only enhances flexibility but also reinforces the importance of mindful breathing, with Larkin drawing a vivid analogy of the rib cage expanding like an accordion.
Transitioning to All Fours
After the initial stretches, the routine takes participants into an all-fours position, leading into a sequence she describes as the Up-Cat. This dynamic pose promotes a natural ripple through the spine, emphasizing fluid movement paired with breath. Here, Larkin invites practitioners to embrace their bodies, encouraging individual expression within the flow of their movements.
