Foundational: Week Two
In this lesson, you will deepen your foundational flexibility with stretches designed to increase range of motion in the hips, hamstrings, and calves. The routine begins with high lunge to hamstring stretches, which target hip flexors and hamstrings, preparing you for more dynamic movements. You’ll then move into kneeling side splits stretches to open the inner thighs and build hip flexibility. Low squat holds and block calf stretches promote flexibility in the ankles, calves, and lower body, while the supine IT band/glute stretch releases tension in the outer hips. The session concludes with reader’s pose, a gentle upper body stretch to open the chest and shoulders.
To get the most out of this program, repeat each video for 7 days before moving on to the next week.
Each lesson is designed to build on the previous one, so trust the process and give your body time to adapt.

-
If holding a low squat is challenging, consider using a yoga block or a cushion to sit on. This modification can help reduce strain and provide support, allowing you to gradually increase your comfort level over time.
-
The Block Calf Stretch targets the calves by allowing you to deepen the stretch through elevation. It helps improve ankle mobility, which is essential for overall leg flexibility and stability in various movements.
