Part 6/8:
As the practice transitioned to seated positions, participants performed Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana), allowing for gentle opening of the hips. The instructor emphasized the importance of maintaining a long spine while folding forward to deepen the stretch. This was followed by a series of stretches incorporating Janu Sirsasana, which integrates forward bends and twists, further enhancing flexibility and promoting relaxation.
Cultivating Closure: Bridge Pose and Final Relaxation
The practice culminated in the Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana), leading participants to lift their hips while lying on their backs. As they held the position, the focus was on breathing into the expansiveness of the heart and opening the chest.
