Part 3/7:
After completing the stretches on both sides, Adriene invites practitioners to walk to the top of the mat, reaching their arms overhead for a full-body stretch. Following this, a forward fold eases tension in the hamstrings while encouraging a gentle flowing movement by bending each knee alternately, allowing the body to feel more relaxed.
The routine then transitions into a Crescent Lunge. By lowering the back knee and extending arms overhead, Adriene emphasizes the opening of the hip flexors. This position sets up deeper stretches, paving the way for more complex poses that follow.
Each pose is paired with mindful breathing, enhancing the overall experience and encouraging practitioners to remain present in the moment.
