Begin a revitalizing journey with Adriene as she guides us through a sequence focusing on chest opening and upper body stretches. This yoga practice has been a frequent request among her community, emphasizing how crucial these exercises are for balanced body posture and emotional wellbeing.

Starting in a comfortable standing position, Adriene invites participants to position their feet hip-width apart, aligning the head over the heart, and the heart over the pelvis. With a deep inhale, allow your chest to lift energetically, finding new dimensions in Mountain Pose.

Feel the transformative energy as Adriene encourages us to zip our legs together, fostering a full-body lift that empowers the chest. Throughout this practice, the connection of breath to movement plays an essential role, informing each posture with vitality and mindfulness.

“It may feel challenging to open your chest—but remember, you're in the right place.”

Transitioning from pose to pose, participants engage techniques like the manual adjustment of lifting from the armpit chest and Bündchen others. This not only raises physical stature but also heightens internal awareness and positivity.

• Goalpost arms
• Volcano Pose
• Standing Forward Fold
• Variation in lunges

These poses build through sequences that include bending and stretching, balancing dynamic energy and inward focus.

With a conscious flow into lunges and supportive balancing poses like Side Plank, participants enhance core strength and stability. Adriene emphasizes keeping the heart elevated, using side angles and backbends to find alignment and space in the body.

As the session progresses, Adriene cleverly weaves restorative elements into the practice. Releasing downward into cobra variations or folding forward in Child’s Pose, practitioners grant their minds and bodies the space they crave for reflections.

“Let your breath guide you into the posture and then trust its ability to nurture your release.”

The session draws to a tranquil close by inviting participants into a posture of gratitude—both for the practice and for their body. This collective journey cultivates a sense of openness and thankfulness.

Ensure your heart and mind gently realign as Adriene reminds us, “Our modern lives so often close us inward… this practice brings our hearts and energy forward.”
