Part 2/7:
The practice begins seated in a cross-legged position where participants are encouraged to connect with their sit bones, lengthen their spines, and release any tension from their shoulders. This initial posture emphasizes grounding and alignment through gentle rocking motions, helping to establish a neutral spine. The breathing pattern is emphasized—participants are instructed to inhale and exhale through the nose as they prepare for the twists to come.
Cassandra leads with a side bend, guiding participants into stretches that lengthen the side body and encourage deeper breaths. Following the side bend, the first spinal twist invites participants to engage their core while maintaining an upright posture, an essential aspect of the practice.
