Part 4/7:
The main segment of the routine involves a series of stretches, particularly focusing on the hip area, known to store emotional burdens. Schellea illustrates how these stretches are vital for older women, allowing them to release past hurts and enhance flexibility. The deep stretches encourage participants to let go of rigidity and embrace freedom of movement.
Movement with Breath
With legs wide and knees gently dropped, participants are guided through deeper stretches that help in improving flexibility and reducing pain, especially for those who may spend long hours sitting. Breathing techniques are integrated, reinforcing the connection between breath and motion. These deep breaths provide a calming influence, allowing the body to relax while stretching comfortably.
