Part 4/7:
As the sequence progresses, Adriene introduces a variation of Dancer Pose. This move encourages participants to hug either knee into the chest before sending it back into the stretch. Keeping the chest lifted is crucial for maintaining balance.
Practitioners can then explore the full variation of the pose, extending one arm forward while maintaining focus on key alignment aspects such as kicking the toes back and stabilizing through the core.
Incorporating Core Strength
The session reinforces the importance of strength throughout the core. As Adriene transitions back to a forward fold, she highlights that while the stretches may initially focus on the quads and hamstrings, engaging the core supports the overall practice and enhances stability.
