Yoga For Your Calves (and Ankles)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2024
- Enjoy this 23-minute Yoga for Calves coming to you from the new YWA digs! Stretch, flex, and increase your range of motion with this sweet and satisfying calf focused session. Throughout this practice I will guide you through a variety of functional movements that will help you to release muscle stiffness in the legs and improve your blood circulation.
Did you know that calves are also known as the "second heart" of the body? The muscles of the calf are POWERFUL in aiding healthy body function! That is because they aid in the flow of blood, in an effort against gravity, from the lower body back to the heart.
Add this practice to your repertoire to improve circulation, enhance mobility, prevent muscle cramps and risk of injury, or if you participate in activities involving a lot of lower body exercise (i.e. running, hiking, soccer, etc.)!
Let me know how it goes for you in the comment section below!

I have had cramps in my right calf recently and earlier today I thought about "wonder if Adriene has a video for that?" I SWEAR this woman can read my mind!

I started my Yoga journey with your videos 8 years ago Adriene. Now I'm starting a Yoga teacher training course. You are a great teacher and I want to thank you for being an inspiration.
congratulations!!!! good luck with your TTC! Namaste
❤❤❤❤❤
I started my Yoga Journey with Adriene when I turned 50 yrs, now 54 and a half. It was a late start but hey never too old to try something new. I practice daily morning to begin my day with a full body stretch of 15 mins and evening 20-30 mins for the whole body and feet and have not missed a practice. The practices just keep getting better and seem so easy now that I have been practicing for 4 years. I find my wrists hurt but i know when to stop and rotate to take the pressure off. This is going to me my daily practice for the next week. Thank you Adriene for this beautiful practice as my calves need much love daily. Much Love from Australia.
Well said! ☺️ You know what they say, 'its never too late' and we continue to learn every single day. I started when I was 51 and I'm almost 58 now. I have incorporated yoga into every single day. I actually cannot imagine a day without yoga. All thanks to the truly wonderful and sublime Adriene. The benefits of yoga cannot be underestimated. Have a beautiful day 💞🤗💞
@@christinarave So good to hear that you are still doing Yoga at 58. Well done! I agree the benefits of Yoga by far are better than anything else I have ever done when it comes to exercise. Have an awesome day!🙂
@@janetlambert2653 Thank you very much for your lovely reply. Yoga really is the best. It's helped me in so many ways. Keep going on your journey, it really is quite a special thing. Sending you warmest wishes ☺️
Jane u can maintain u r youngness & good health forever with meditation daily
@@amanpreet3408 Good to know that you can maintain youthfulness and good health with meditation daily. Thank you for the tip! Have a beautiful day.
I started this practice in tears and feeling very heavy. I actually wasn’t sure if I should start while crying. But I did and it helped me feel not as alone when Adriene came on the screen. I ended it feeling a lot lighter than when I started. That’s why I love yoga. Thank you Adriene!
I'm sorry today is rough, Jenn. You're doing great. ❤ Well done, indeed.
This too shall pass, dear! Sending you a lot of hugs. Hope you feel much better now
Dear Jenn everyone is born alone & dead alone. The true friend of everyone is God. If u feel alone then increase u r will power with real meditation. & spend a enjoyable life.
❤❤❤❤
Be kind to yourself, Jenn. Sending you a hug from afar. ❤
I love how even when it’s a “focused” body part practice it still encompasses full body awareness and has full body impact! It’s all connected baby! Thank you Adriene always!!
I've never caught a YWA video as it has gone live before… I'm so excited to join everyone!
❤❤❤❤❤
I just had a massage. I mentioned to the therapist that I am experiencing a plantar fasciitis flare. She noted that my calves are tight and worked her magic. She encouraged me to work on stretching my calves, so I looked to see if Adriene had one for calves and found this gem. Instant addition to my fav list. THANK YOU, ADRIENE!
Thank you for taking some time here, with Adriene,Benji and Me
Waking up the body
Namaste 🙏🏼

Oh wow, the calves are known as the second heart?! I didn't know that. But it makes total sense. Similar to how they say in kundalini yoga that the arms are an extension of the heart. Thank you for shining your beautiful light so brightly, dear Adriene. 💛✨
I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis for a decade now and have a new flare up since May. I've been doing this video almost every day since it came out and it has helped my recovery tremendously! Thank you Adriene!
As always- its delightful to see a new practice from Adriene uploaded on UA-cam - much love and namaste to everyone today ;)
Love your new yoga space!
After three years of daily YWA I took four months off, and boy, am I feeling it. It’s great to be back. Thanks Adriene x
Gracias Gracias Gracias. Namaste 🙏 ❤❤
Love this practice! It was designed with the calves in mind but I find it to be fantastic for stretching out my back as well. I deal with chronic back pain and never know how the day will greet me. This one hits many of the hot buttons. Thank you for these types of sessions!
While I miss A commenting here, I can appreciate the joy and relief that comes from taking it easy with the whole social media sitch. 🌅
Great practice Adriene. 👍 I did struggle quite a lot today, it's hot here in the UK, and my Fibromyalgia is acting up this morning. (It really doesn't like the temperature changes.) So I had to pause the video quite a few times, to breathe, and switch my fan on so, I had air to breathe. But all in all I really enjoyed this practice. It's funny I'm sure at times you can read my mind, because I went to London last week, and did lots of walking. My calves, and other parts of my leg, have been complaining ever since, and today you bring this practice to me. It's so funny when that happens. Thank you so much Adriene, and Benji. You are awesome. See you tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏🧡
☀️💗☀️
Namaste & so thankful for Adriene Benji & team!
Just what I needed -- I've been having a lot of tension in my calves due to standing on my feet for several hours each day at work. I've also been trying to get back into a more consistent workout regimen because I always feel so much better after moving my body with intention. This was great for my calves, but also my arms -- wild thing had me shaking like a leaf! So good to get this session in before I go to work today. Thank you, Adriene!
Forever, I will be grateful for yoga with Adriene practice!
Get To Know, June 4, 2024. Just when I thought I was building strength I am quickly humbled with extensive use of the guns in tabletop and plank variations. Arms were tested today that's for sure. My first light attempt at wild thing. Never even bothered contemplating it last year while dabbling in the toe dip back into yoga. But today I gave it a go. It was a better start than I expected. That one is a turtle race for me. But happy with the beginnings of something I considered difficult. Namaste 💙
DELIGHT ✨ | July 29, 2024 | I showed up on my mat again, and right now that's enough! I appreciate the stretches in this practice! 🙏
So wonderful! Thank you Adriene & Benji! ❤💖✨
Whenever i do a run on the treadmill, a home workout, or a long walk in uncomfortable shoes, my calves are so tight and sore the next day - this practice will be one to return to time and time again! 🧡
Same here, especially after long walks 💜🙏🏾
Definitely a go to after running. 👍
My calves have been really heavy felling today. Adrien always seems to know what i need. I do her yoga everyday sometimes its a ten min bedtime one but she is a constant in my life❤ and i love this community
Thankyou for this one, Adriene xxx
Thank you 🙏
It is an honour to practice alongside you, and sweet Benji. Thank you so much Adriene, your yoga practices help me so much, and are one of my favourite parts of the day. I love your new practice space, and how chilled Benji was by all those big pillows. 😊 I'm loving your June 2024 calendar, I can't wait for tomorrows yoga practice, see you there. Namaste. 🙏🧡
Thank you Adriene, that was hard, only because I keep losing my continuity with every day yoga with you. I am having to work twice as hard to be able to sustain myself holding the plank , wild thing pose etc. I do babysitting for my precious grandchildren an absolute joy, then I have get to fit in my yoga regime, hence I miss a week sometimes of classes. I will never give up, now that I found my favourite yogi, you. much love and gratitude and God bless💕🙏Namaste🧘♀
Coming on Adrienne's channel with exhausted legs, and found this prize! It was awesome! Thank you Adrienne.
The synchronicity I have with you and Be Ji is pure SERENDIPITY...just two days ago @ now age 55 ...WHAT 😅...cannot wrap my head around it....was lovingly looking at my calves, rubbing them and thinking 🤔 how they have always been a firm , shapely, strong body part , no matter how far I have wondered off the movement path. Said to hubby ...." I wonder when Adriene will give us a practice for calves....mine have lost muscle tone as I age ?" Boom 💥 I get your email today. Your Spirit ☄️ listens intently and never fails us. ❤ Thank you Adriene. So adore you and Benji 🐾 Buddy
I sprained my ankle pretty bad while climbing a few weeks ago and am slowly getting back to yoga. In just a few weeks of not using it, the calf muscles in my right leg got sooo weak and stiff. This was perfect and so helpful, thank you🩷
I have never watched one of these videos so new. Woke up and my calves were killing me so I started this and realized it was published two hours ago!
Adriene - all I can say is that you must be a mindreader! Each new video that comes out always targets something I’m feeling a need for in the moment. On top of that, it’s so nice returning to older videos too because they’re so extensive. You have helped in the improvement of my daily life immensely. Thank you so much!!
❤❤❤❤
Thank you Adriene for all your help and inspiration. 🤗
Ended this practice feeling so joyful. I've been doing 2 days of yoga as part of cross training for a half marathon so it was great to find this on the Delight schedule for today! :-)
Thank you for all you have done for me Adrienne. You have helped me in so many ways - mentally, physically, spiritually. Doing yoga with you and the community is something I truly treasure. Thank you so much for this gift. May so many blessings come your way dear friend 🙏
Congrats on the new digs and another great practice! It was indeed sweet and satisfying (and sneaky with the planks)! Loved it.
What an amazing full-body practice that also stretches the calves/hamstrings/ankles! Really enjoyed this one. Many thanks.
Thank you Adriene! Good to see you in 2024! And a new practice is always welcome.
I haven't missed a day of yoga all year and I have never felt so good and strong in my life. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video. I have never commented before, but I hadn't realized how much stress and tension my calves have been carrying, probably for years and years, until I tried this practice. I look forward to doing it again!
I injured my tendon this week and yoga for the feet really helped, but my calves still hurt so I was looking for yoga for calves and Adriene just uploaded this. The magic of Adriene and yoga ❤❤❤ Thank you for being the best yoga teacher.
Wonderful, joyful, relaxing. Thank you Adriene, thank you Yoga with Adriene community. Namaste 🙏🏽
so thrilled to see this when i woke this mornin', as my calves have been really needing some yoga here on my dairy farm! I AM KIDDING, i don't have any cattle but i am grateful for my loose calves after this praccy!
Love this one!! Feeling so good now. The wild thing was hard, I couldn’t do it as long as you did. However, then I realised that only a couple of months ago I wouldn’t be able to do it at all! I’m getting stronger! Love it. Thank you!!
Adriene always seems to give me what I need when I need it. My calves and my soul thank you.
Great practice to stretch and strengthen. First really challenging practice I’ve done in terms of it being okay to be in plank for a while, downward dog and do wild thing, after shoulder surgery last August. Namaste xo
This was exactly what my body needed today. What great timing.
Thank you Adriene. You have made a huge difference in my life. Your videos help light to shine through the cracks. You are a part of my healing journey and I want to extend my love and gratitude. You are helping so many of us in so many ways. I am truly thankful.
I never clicked so quick on a video. I really need this one👌🏾
Thank You Adriene! Namaste 🙏 See you tomorrow 🥰
❤ much gratitude and best wishes for your new home 🎉. Will forever hold Creaky Old Floor in my heart
Loved doing this to work out a bunch of the knots in my muscles. And my back loved the stretches at rhe beginning as well.
I’ve been experiencing calf cramps while swimming this summer and it just dawned on me that I saw this yoga session you posted a while ago and finally did it this morning. Hopefully it’ll help and it was really a wonderful well rounded session. Thank you so much for sharing your talents.
I went away from Yoga with Adriene for a bit as I had to do no feet yoga for a while. Coming back to your channel reminds me of how good I feel when I practice with you. I love how you make it about body and mind - my soul is happy, thank you 🙂
I always look forward to the new videos. This was brilliant. Such a great practice after a day exploring Sardegna 🤍 Thankyou so much, Adriene and Benji xxx
Yeyyyyy!
Caught the tail end of this premier as I finished my 1st run this year.
Thank you, Adriene, Benji, and team.
Hello everybody!
I did this practice in the airport hotel in Delhi, en route to Nepal for a family visit. This was the perfect practice after a 15 hour flight and a decent hotel sleep. Definitely recommend this after air travel. Thanks always!
Coming in with a second comment!! I work as a cabin crew and my constantly tired legs and calves went from "crying out loud couch." to "Oh dearie, this is the best Yoga mat time I could ever ask for."
Adrienne, you're a blessing to human race! May you be awarded back with every good feeling you put in our lives.
Get to know day 4! Love the new room! Very proud of everyone here!
Thank you, Adriene and YWA community🤎🤎🤎
As always a wonderful session with our dear Adrienne 💕. God bless you and have a nice day!🙏
Best way to start the workweek!thanks Adriene and crew!
Some awesome stretches to get length in those calf muscles, especially good to do after a long walk or a run.
KNOW 🔮 | June 4, 2024 | Congratulations on the new space, it's beautiful! This was a great, thoughtful practice, incorporating the full body. I've been dealing with some tendinitis in my achilles the last few weeks, I feel it especially in down dog so that's been a bit challenging, but I'm being patient and try not to push them too far. 🙏
To God be the glory 😤 👏 I'm so grateful 🙏 for this practice. 🙏 Thanks very much Adriene you're my favorite morning cup of TEA 🍵. You know what we're carving for. Blessings to Adriene and my yoga family from my home 🏡 🙏 to yours. Love ❤️ always. Namaste 🙏
Loveeeed this before bed time I wanna be more consistent it's been extremely hard latelyyy❤❤❤
Adriene & Benji always manage to cheer me up, even on the really dark days 🙏🏼 great practice and ❤the new digs
Wow she’s doing yoga for baby cows now!
😂
But it's not yoga for baby cows😂 it's yoga for your calf muscles
Superb dad joke lol 😄
AHAHAHAH STOP
😂😂😂😂
My better half and I are travelling. Walked over 34.000 steps. This was an absolutely godsend. Thank you🥰💝💗👯
Blessed Beloved Beauties! I completed, "Get to Know" Day - 3 on Day - 4 which is my Solar Return! I am so grateful for another year around the sun.🎉 There was a major energy shift after this session. I feel amazing! How does everyone else feel? Best wishes! 🦋❤️🦋
Another beautiful practice Thankyou Adrienne you are such a huge inspiration to me 🖤🤍🖤🤍xxx
Day 4 of Get To Know ❤❤ This was so lovely! Thank you!!
Delight 😊 Day 29 ✅️ Thank you always! ❤
I wish you would continue with foundations of yoga since I think there are still poses you didn't include. Help beginners to slowly ease into all the asanas and find the ground from which to build. You gave such great advice and variations in the series. Thanx, you are so my kind of teacher.
Thank you, once again!!!
What a great blessing you are to all of us. 🤍
Lovin the new digs, Adriene !!!!
Had a cramping issue, while sleeping last night and this was the perfect remedy
Right on time
Benji Adriene love you, two ❤
Day 4 of the Get to Know June 2024
Namaste 🙏🏼 Y’All ♥️
Get To Know, day 4🎉thank you, Adriene, for this practice, it took a little while to get into, but so glad I've done it now and started my day in the best way.💖🧘🏼♀️🙏🏻
Thanks Adriene and Benji. This was the Yoga practice I needed today! 🙏
I starten my Yoga Journey since 6 Years with Adriene ❤ and i Need this Daily Yoga practice so much vor my Body and vor my Brain. It is so good to feel my Body getting stronger. Thank you so much Adriene. ❤
Tell me how my calf started hurting 2 days ago and now I stumble across THIS?! Your timing is impeccable, Adriene
10 June 2024 - this is the practice to get YWA back into my routine after 3 lazy months. Why oh why do I not make the time when I know how good it feels after a practice. Anyway... I'm back.... Woohoo! Thank you, Adriene for always being there and sharing the wonderful power yoga practice gives. 💕
You will be missed original YWA space!! Thank you for the memories
Beautiful new space, congrats! Video request: a short post work-day unwind (~10 min or less). Like a little ritual to reset and stretch out.
If this already exists, can someone point the way?
And thank you for another lovely, fully integrated practice 🤍
Such a great practice Adriene. Thank you. Your daily practice is amazing and I am reaping the benefits.
Wow this was hard!! Really nice practice, it made me sweat 😅. Love the new space, it looks so close to nature and calming! 😍 Thank you so much for a wonderful practice today Adriene! Sending love to everyone in this community ❤❤❤
"We are not worthy!" You never cease to amaze me! Namaste!
/Thiswas fabulous for my neck and upper back as well as the calves. Another great total body experience. Thank you for your generous guidance Adrien
This practice (in fact all your practices) was so helpful, because my calves really need more flexibility, in fact childspose is not easy for me, rather painful. But this practice made it MUCH better! I will bookmark this! Thank you Adriene❤
Really loved this! Thank you! So needed and I feel great!
I'm a runner who has a very calf-dominant running form. My calves are almost always sore or pulsing after a long run or hike, and do sometimes start having spasms when I overexert them. I can already tell this practice is going to be amazing and in my regular rotation.
She is so amazing and inspiringly
I conected so well with this lesson. Thank you so much Adriene, Thank you so much Benji! My heart is filled with love, I am at peace, and my body is humming! Couldn't ask for anything more right now!
since falling down my stairs 6 years ago I've had plantar fasciitis in one or both feet and my left calf has been tight for soooo long - so it's lovely to be able to give my legs some love (1st time ever)! Lovely practise - lovely new digs too Adriene! Thank you x
I am just now getting back into Yoga to work on my fitness and wellbeing overall. The first video I found was from Adriene and oh my gosh I just love her. She knows her stuff and is a pleasure to watch, she makes me laugh and I love her overall vibe. I found a true gem on UA-cam and now I don’t watch anybody else :)
Since I've gotten into movement recently, a new passion that has started with watching your videos and fuelled by having started running, I've noticed what feel like new dimensions to my breath? Like when I run, i can hear deeper harmonics of more space that has been unlocked, down through spine. I definitely attribute this to yoga; I do feel as though I sit up a little taller every time I start a session with you, from previous work. Does anyone else relate to this concept of more space to breathe unlocked in the body?
Thanks for the love peace and yoga🙏🫶✌️🧘♀️
Yoga with Adriene is MAGIC 🙏🏼❤️!
You always seem to know what I need in the moment. I have been dancing a lot on raves lately (sober, I don't drink alcohol) and one rave I was at last weekend was at the top of a mountain, so had to walk up there in addition to all the dancing. My calves have been sore the past few days. I am currently on my 5th day of a water fast and this routine was perfect right now. I feel great!
Forgot to say; thank you! 🙏 💜
loved this practice, the wild thing was a no go, but I am on month 6 of a daily yoga practice, so I know I will get there one day! Thank you lovely Adriene!
This calf session is amazing for relaxing and releasing tension in my legs and lower back.
