Part 4/8:
Following the warm-up, Dr. Melissa introduced poses targeting the hips, emphasizing the importance of keeping the spine aligned. As participants shifted between poses—raising and lowering their arms in cactus arms—they explored gentle hip openings, fostering mobility in the lower body without overexerting themselves.
The objective was to glide the sciatic nerve gently, promoting a better range of motion and reducing nerve irritation. Dr. Melissa’s instructions inspired participants to focus on controlled movements rather than aggressive stretching, reinforcing safety and mindfulness throughout the practice.
