Part 2/8:
The session begins with participants being welcomed into a serene space, encouraging a calm mind as they settle onto their mats. Adriene emphasizes the importance of connecting with one's own body, even when focusing on tired feet. As the session unfolds, practitioners lie on their backs, hug their knees to their chest, and start to breathe deeply, fostering a moment of introspection while easing into the practice.
The initial movements invite gentle massaging of the low back, promoting relaxation throughout the shoulders and neck. This establishes a foundation of awareness that extends from the feet up to the entire body. Each deep inhalation and long exhalation marks a conscious effort to connect inward, understanding how our bodies feel after a long day or week.
