Afsluiting

You have just taken another step in building a consistent yoga practice. Today’s movements helped gently stretch the spine, hips, and legs, while reinforcing the habit of mindful breathing. These foundations will support you as the lessons gradually evolve.

Notice any sensations in your body, such as warmth, openness, or relaxation. These are signs that your body is responding to regular movement and attention. Progress in yoga often feels subtle at first, but it adds up over time.

To close the practice, lie down comfortably on your back and settle intoShavasana. Allow your muscles to relax completely and let your breath return to its natural rhythm. Stay here for a few moments, resting and absorbing the benefits of your practice.
