Part 3/7:
Now that you're comfortable, rest your hands in your lap or extend them overhead. Gently close your eyes to enter a state of relaxation. Focus on controlling what you can—this could mean unclenching your jaw or releasing thoughts that pull you away from the present moment.
By allowing your body to sit in this long-held position, you create space for everything else to soften away, paving the way for deeper relaxation.
Figure Four Stretch
The next stage of the routine introduces the figure four stretch. Lift your hips off the floor to place your right ankle on your left knee, then lower your hips down. To deepen the stretch, bend your left knee slightly, drawing your left foot down the wall. This motion will help to engage and stretch the right hip, glute, and piriformis muscles.
