Part 2/8:
Before beginning the sequence, Adriene encourages participants to gather simple props such as towels, blankets, and pillows—making it accessible for everyone. The emphasis is on comfort: finding solace in familiar surroundings while creating a “pillow yoga” experience.
To start, students are invited to create a comfortable sitting position on the mat, crossing their legs. This position helps to clear the mind and brings attention inward as they prepare to practice. With gentle movements of the shoulders and easy breaths, participants are encouraged to check in with their bodies, easing tension and establishing a connection with the breath.
