Transcript
Hello, selamat datang, and welcome to Bend, Don't Break. My name is Putri Anggraini and this is a show for bodies that feel stiff, tired and a bit older than they should. Today is a guided practice, so I want you on the floor. Not a yoga mat, a towel is fine, a carpet is fine. We are going to spend twenty minutes on your hips, because if you sit at a desk or on a motorbike all day, your hips are quietly folding in on themselves. You will not need to be flexible. You will not need to touch your toes. You just need to breathe and follow my voice. Afterwards I will explain what we did and why it works. Let us begin by lying down. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts.
