Part 3/7:
Nicole encourages participants to articulate their spines, creating fluidity as they ripple forward into Plank and then back to Downward-Facing Dog. This ebb and flow foster both physical activation and a calming state of mind.
Deepening the Stretch: Lunge Variations
The class continues with a dynamic sequence of lunges. Participants step back into low lunges, flowing between bent and straightened legs to stretch the hamstrings and open the heart. In crescent lunges, arms reach overhead, creating a full-body stretch that enhances flexibility and stability.
Throughout these sequences, participants are reminded to connect their breath with movement, establishing a rhythm that enhances their practice and energizes their spirits.
