Part 2/8:
The class commenced with the relaxing Child's Pose, known as Balasana, which serves as a gentle introduction to the session. Participants first settled into a comfortable position by sitting back on their heels with knees spread slightly apart. They then walked their hands forward, resting their foreheads on the mat to allow for deep breathing into the lower back, hips, chest, and between the shoulder blades. This grounding exercise fosters a beneficial connection between breath and body, setting the tone for the practice ahead.
