Part 2/9:
Begin your practice by standing on your yoga mat with your feet together, ensuring your weight is evenly distributed. To ground yourself, place one hand on your low back and tuck your tailbone under, aiming for perfect alignment. With your eyes closed, lift your chin so it is parallel to the floor. This mindful setup begins the journey, connecting mental focus with physical readiness.
Entering the Flow: Ragdoll Pose
On your next inhale, step your feet slightly wider than hip distance apart. Raise your arms overhead, looking upward, and then exhale into a Swan Dive, with a slight bend in the knees. Let your head hang, grasp opposite elbows, and allow your upper body to feel heavy. This moment invites gentle sways from side to side or stillness, promoting release in the neck.
