Outro

You have completed a practice that encourages openness through the front of the body while maintaining stability and awareness. These poses help counteract tightness and support more upright posture over time.

Notice how your chest and shoulders feel now compared to when you started. A sense of space or ease is often a sign that your body is responding well to this type of movement.

To finish, lie down comfortably on your back and rest inSavasana. Allow your body to soften fully and your breath to slow naturally, taking a few quiet moments to relax and restore.
