Part 5/7:
Incorporating lateral stretches into your morning routine is essential. Sitting sideways on your mat, extend one leg and reach with the opposite arm. These stretches target the often-overlooked lateral side of your body, improving overall flexibility and stability.
Closing Your Practice
As you near the conclusion of the routine, it’s important to calm the mind and body. Transition into Child's Pose, allowing your body to sink into the mat while focusing on your breath. This restorative posture is the perfect counterbalance to the energetic flow that preceded it.
Finally, rise back to a standing position, interlace your fingers behind your neck, and gently tuck your chin while observing where you hold tension; this reflective moment cements the benefits of your practice.
