Part 6/8:
Next, Paige guides practitioners into a reclined figure-four pose, where one ankle is crossed over the opposite thigh. Here, she focuses on alignment and encourages participants to adjust the depth of their stretch based on comfort. By pressing the knee gently away from the body, lower back traction is achieved, again helping to alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Deepening the Stretch
Participants have the option of lifting their foot for a deeper stretch, either grabbing the hamstring or the shin. This modification allows for variations based on individual flexibility levels while emphasizing the importance of aligning the body to enhance comfort.
