Part 3/7:
Lesley demonstrates how to position the legs, introducing the option of bending or extending them. With each inhale, students are encouraged to lengthen the spine, while every exhale invites deeper exploration of the twist. The mantra resonated throughout the session is that depth of pose is secondary to the sensation of stretch.
Building Strength and Flexibility
From seated poses, the class transitions into plank and backbends, emphasizing core activation and the importance of engaging the pelvic floor. Proper alignment and mindful movements are prioritized, reminding practitioners that maintaining the integrity of the posture is far more beneficial than striving for an ideal shape.
