Part 4/9:
From Downward Facing Dog, the practice flows into a standing position, where Adriene emphasizes the significance of balance and centering the body. Participants are encouraged to zip up their legs and activate their core as the foundation of strength in the body. As the session proceeds into Chair Pose (Utkatasana), Adriene emphasizes the importance of aligning the knees over the ankles rather than the toes, ensuring safety while maximizing engagement.
Repetitive motions reinforce the muscle contractions essential for strength. Adriene presents the idea of making each movement with intention, urging participants to harness their breath as they execute each pose. The session shapes a rhythm where strength-building and mindful breathing converge.
