Part 4/8:
As the class progresses, practitioners move into a Low Lunge position, where attention is directed to the alignment of the knee over the ankle. This part of the practice helps to open the psoas muscle, which can be a common source of tension for many individuals. Transitioning to a Single Legged Split allows for deeper stretching of the hamstrings, encouraging circulation and blood flow throughout the legs.
Lizard Variations: Building Strength and Flexibility
Transitioning into Lizard Pose, participants are invited to explore the use of micro circles in the hips. This variation helps to release tension while actively engaging the muscles. Stretching the arms outwards mimics a reaching motion, promoting a full body engagement and connection to the breath.
