Part 4/7:
Following this, the class moves into "malasana," or yogic squat. Here, practitioners are instructed to keep their hips low while ensuring their back is straight and not rounded. If needed, a block can substitute for the ground, allowing them to find comfort and maintain proper posture.
Reclining and Relaxation
Continuing to nurture the lower back, participants recline into a child's pose, gently rocking or swaying to release any residual tension. Transitioning into a "supported bridge" pose, a block is introduced under the hips for gentle elevation. Cassandra offers modifications by advising participants to keep their legs bent if needed, thus avoiding any compression in the lower back.
