Outro

You have now practiced grounding through movement and breath. The lunges and transitions in this lesson gently strengthen the legs while improving balance and awareness. With repetition, these poses will start to feel more familiar and stable.

Notice how your body feels after introducing a bit more activity. You may feel warmer, more energized, or more connected to your movements. These sensations are part of building strength and confidence over time.

To finish your practice, lie down comfortably and settle intoSavasana. Let your body relax fully into the floor, releasing any remaining effort. Stay here for a few quiet moments, allowing the benefits of your practice to sink in before continuing with your day.
