Part 2/6:
For those feeling particularly tense or restricted, lying on the back was recommended for a more profound release. The instructor guided participants to notice any tightness in their bodies, fostering awareness of their physical state without judgment.
Warming Up the Body
After the meditation, the class transitioned into a warm-up where participants moved into an extended child's pose, focusing on breathing and gentle stretching. This was followed by a series of movements that included cat-cow stretches to warm up the spine, emphasizing the creation of fluid movement through breath control.
The instructor encouraged slow and deliberate engagement with each pose, advocating for a dance-like flow with the breath rather than rushing through movements.
