Part 2/9:
The routine begins with a moment of stillness, inviting participants to find a comfortable seated position. With eyes closed, practitioners engage in breath work, employing the Gan Mudra to connect the index finger and thumb. This signifies a grounding beginning, as they inhale deeply through the nose, feeling the belly rise and then gently exhale through the mouth. Repeating this process emphasizes awareness of the breath and body, helping to prepare for the flow ahead.
The sequence continues with breath retention, where participants inhale deeply and hold their breath for ten counts before releasing it slowly. This exercise enhances lung capacity and encourages mindfulness.
