Adriene introduces hip-opening movements that target the muscles often used in tennis. Through gentle twists and extended child’s pose, participants are encouraged to explore ranges of motion that can enhance flexibility and prevent injury. She highlights the option to modify poses based on individual comfort levels, making the practice accessible for all body types and fitness levels.
Strength and Stability
Next, Adriene guides participants into a series of lunges, emphasizing alignment and core engagement. The lunges provide strength-building opportunities while also stretching the hip flexors. With each transition between poses, she highlights the importance of breath, reminding practitioners to keep breathing deeply and consciously, which aids in maintaining balance and stability.
