Part 2/7:
To begin, Nico emphasizes the importance of setting intentions and grounding oneself in the practice. He introduces a hand mudra that involves interlacing fingers with pinkies facing upward, encouraging participants to bring their hands to heart center. He guides them through several deep inhalations and exhalations, allowing time to contemplate any affirmations or intentions they wish to focus on during the session.
Warming Up the Body
Once grounded, the session transitions into gentle movements to warm up the body. Participants are encouraged to come onto hands and knees for a series of cat-cow stretches, harmonizing breath with movement. This fluid motion helps in releasing tension from the spine and neck while preparing the body for deeper engagement.
