This Healing Yoga session begins with a rejuvenating 20-minute session of body buffing or body tapping, aimed at stimulating circulation and invigorating the body. This practice prepares participants for a focused exploration of lower back opening exercises, predominantly performed from floor-based poses to enhance stability and alignment.
Key Exercises and Benefits:
Ankle Pumps: Movement of the ankles stimulates blood flow and enhances flexibility, crucial for maintaining mobility and preventing stiffness.
Walking Hips: This exercise promotes hip joint mobility and strengthens the surrounding muscles, including the glutes and hip flexors, improving overall hip function.
Seated Forward Fold with Open Hip: Opens the hips and stretches the lower back, promoting flexibility and releasing tension in the hip flexors and hamstrings.
Spinal Twists: Twisting poses improve spinal flexibility, release tension in the back muscles, and enhance circulation to the spine and surrounding tissues.
Pelvic Tilt: Strengthens the core muscles and stabilizes the pelvic region, improving posture and supporting lower back health.
Dynamic Bridge Pose: Activates the back, glutes, and core muscles while improving spinal flexibility and stimulating circulation throughout the body.
Benefits:
Muscle Activation: Engages and strengthens the back, sides, glutes, core, pelvic, and leg muscles, promoting stability and balance.
Chakra Activation: Focuses on the 1st (Root) and 2nd (Sacral) chakras, enhancing grounding, stability, and creativity while fostering a sense of security and emotional balance.
Improved Circulation: Enhances overall blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to muscles and organs while removing toxins, promoting overall vitality.
This session is designed to foster a holistic approach to physical well-being, emphasizing flexibility, strength, and energetic balance. Participants are encouraged to practice mindfully, respecting their body's current capabilities while nurturing a deeper connection between body, mind, and spirit.
