Part 3/7:
Following this, participants are invited into Puppy Pose, or “Heart to Earth” pose. This pose serves as a gentle chest opener, enhancing the breath as it flows deeper into the lungs. Again, breath is emphasized as a tool for nourishment, allowing for fresh oxygen and blood flow to invigorate the body.
Elevating Posture: Downward-Facing Dog and Forward Fold
As the practice flows onward, the transition to Downward-Facing Dog invites practitioners to lift their hips high, pedaling the feet to release any tension accumulated overnight. The head and neck are encouraged to relax, promoting an atmosphere of gratitude toward one’s body and the effort made to partake in this rejuvenating exercise.
