    • Promote the theme of the class: "Live your Power," encouraging self-awareness and personal strength throughout the practice.
    • Share personal experience with injury to highlight the importance of listening to one's body and making mindful choices.

    • Encourage toe-heeling feet for hip-width distance, bending knees, and draping torso over thighs.

    Forward Fold and Samasthiti

    • Progress from Ragdoll to Forward Fold by releasing hands and rolling up to standing.
    • Inhale for Samasthiti, grounding through the feet while finding an intention for the practice—living power uniquely.

    Mountain Pose Flow

    • Engage the body in Inhale Mountain Pose by spreading toes, engaging the core, and raising hands upward.
    • Transition into Exhale Forward Fold by hinging at the hips and releasing the spine.

    Half Lift to High Plank

    • Inhale for Half Lift, placing palms on shins, achieving a flat back, and squeezing shoulders down.
