Part 3/6:
Next, Nico guides practitioners into Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana). Here, hips are lifted high and heels are pushed towards the ground to stretch the back and legs. The option to pedal out the feet establishes freedom of movement, promoting a deeper engagement within the body.
Lizard Pose for Deep Hip Opening
As the practice moves forward, Nico introduces Lizard Pose (Utthan Pristhasana), which presents an opportunity for deep hip opening. Participants are encouraged to lower themselves into the pose while adjusting their back knee for comfort and stability. Different variations such as reaching for the ankle or lowering elbows help challenge those looking to deepen the stretch.
