As participants exhale, Joelle reminds them to sink a little deeper into the stretch, which helps to release muscle tension in the lower spine and hips — areas often linked to tightness that may foster further discomfort. After a few breaths, the practice smoothly transitions to deer pose, targeting the piriformis muscle in a deeply intentional way.
The practice encourages shifting the focus to the right side, further stretching the glutes and piriformis area. Joelle's guidance throughout helps to navigate the subtle differences that may arise in each side, allowing for personal adjustment and exploration.
