Part 2/8:
As Adriene invites participants onto their mats, she emphasizes the importance of being present. Through a series of stretches and mindful movements, she encourages everyone to take a moment for themselves, letting go of distractions and just settling into stillness.
Mindfulness and Breath: The Foundation of the Practice
When settling into a comfortable seated position, Adriene focuses on grounding oneself through breath. This foundational aspect of yoga allows individuals to transition from restless sleepers to awakened beings. By taking deep, conscious breaths, participants are persuaded to check in with their energy, embrace the moment, and set positive intentions for the day ahead.
