Part 5/7:
Participants then opened their legs wide for a deeper stretch while the instructor guided them through gentle forward bends, emphasizing a relaxed face and elongated spine. They were encouraged to hold poses for several breaths, allowing gradual inner thigh opening.
Inversions and Backbends
The session progressed with inversions, specifically Halasana, where participants lifted their legs and supported their lower back with their palms. Sanjana pointed out that anyone on their period should avoid inversions and look for alternative modifications.
After repeated cycles of lifting and lowering, participants were guided into Bhujangasana or Cobra Pose. This backbend was practiced with careful attention to the lower belly's placement, reinforcing the connection between breath and movement.
