Part 3/5:
The sequence continues with a few rounds of the beloved cat-cow stretch, enhancing spinal mobility. As the body flows through the movements, proper alignment is maintained, with an emphasis on breathing. Inhaling creates an arch in the back, while exhaling brings a rounded spine—this rhythm of movement is vital for setting the stage for the upcoming meditation.
Following these movements, a variation known as the barrel roll is introduced, where the body arcs left and right. This exploration of lateral movement helps release any tension in the spine, making way for deeper relaxation.
