Part 2/7:
Adriene begins the session standing, encouraging practitioners to shift their weight onto the right foot and bend the left knee to connect with the quad muscles. Placing a hand on a chair or wall for balance can be helpful. As she guides through the stretch, she emphasizes the importance of listening to your body—advising those who feel sore not to push too hard.
With a focus on mindful breathing, Adriene instructs practitioners to relax their shoulders, lift their chest, and slowly draw the knee in. This mindful approach is central to yoga practice, fostering a connection between movement and breath.
