Part 4/7:
The routine progresses to a movement that engages both strength and flexibility—Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). Cassandra emphasizes the importance of proper foot placement and the act of lifting the hips while keeping the shoulders grounded. This pose strengthens the lower body and opens up the chest, providing an invigorating boost of energy.
Participants engage their glutes and inner thighs, promoting strength while also ensuring not to strain the neck or jaw. The mindful experience of descending back to the mat underlines a gentle transition, reinforcing the theme of awareness throughout the practice.
