Yoga For Your Calves (and Ankles)

[@anthonyd7659]

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.

[@zaniabreathandyoga]

congratulations!!!! good luck with your TTC! Namaste

[@majawanhainen5064]

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!

[@janetlambert2653]

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.

[@christinarave]

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 💞🤗💞

[@janetlambert2653]

@@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!🙂

[@christinarave]

@@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 ☺️

[@jenncrane7258]

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!

[@adedow1333]

I'm sorry today is rough, Jenn. You're doing great. ❤ Well done, indeed.

[@Abdysch]

This too shall pass, dear! Sending you a lot of hugs. Hope you feel much better now

[@alyssasings21]

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!!

[@sophiecote2899]

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!

[@mindfork4741]

Someone triggered me yesterday but I'm so proud of myself for staying calm and not giving in to the impulsive reaction which would have been to blow up at them the way they wanted to. They wanted me to feel those same negative and disgusting emotions they were feeling but I did not let them in past my peaceful shield. I stood my ground and protected my peace. I was still anxious afterwards but some alternate nostral breathing did me some good and this practice felt really good as well. I am in control. I can't control other people but I can try to control the way I react to them and yesterday I did it. I'm really proud of myself for not falling back into my old traumatic patterns. Thank you Adriene. Also today I did something that I had been putting off for a long time and I'm proud of that as well. I'm slowly paving the way down my own happy path. Namaste everyone. 💜

[@pathertzbach7966]

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!

[@HeartfulFluency]

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. 💛✨

[@thefed74]

I've never caught a YWA video as it has gone live before… I'm so excited to join everyone!

[@Smilatme]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@fluffyross2297]

Brilliant yoga today Adriene, thank you. 😊 today is a harder day for me with the Fibromyalgia. I did have to pause the video a few times, to come back to my breath. And do some additional yoga pose, to really stretch certain joints. But I really enjoyed today practice, it was really good. I love practicing alongside you, and sweet little Benji. You both brighten up my days. I love you both, see you tomorrow. Namaste. 🙏🧡☀️

[@FreyaHatfield]

Rekindle day 18🎉 thank you, Adriene, loved this practice. My calves and ankles started out heavy and as the practice went on I could feel them getting lighter with each position, this was the perfect practice for today. 💖🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

[@scootertart]

As always- its delightful to see a new practice from Adriene uploaded on KZbin - much love and namaste to everyone today ;)

[@rosiemae1094]

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!

[@riddoch558]

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

[@litmint9790]

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. 🌅

[@emmaw944]

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

[@RaeLoumusic]

Ooo! Another one I’ve never done before… yey! I feel all stretchy now! 😂 I loved this. Very pleased I made the effort to come to the mat today. Thank you! 🙏🏻💛

[@chelseachipping95]

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!!

[@Smilatme]

❤❤❤❤

[@fluffyross2297]

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. 🙏🧡

[@marisgoldenhour6212]

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 💙

[@JlSned]

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!

[@marwaeldeeb6894]

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.

[@nicolelemire3713]

☀️💗☀️ Namaste & so thankful for Adriene Benji & team!

[@tinamuliett9095]

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.

[@scarletannemariadsouza2007]

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🧘‍♀

[@karamiller7311]

I noticed my inner chatter suggested taking time away from my daily practice. I also noticed how I counter acted that with a loving knowing that that was my que that things are changing, and to stick with it. Change is scary and our minds will do their best to protect us through it. However, if it were really meant to change, as in stopping daily practice, it already would have happened naturally. There wouldn't be this inner chatter. Keep going YWA fam. We got this! ❤

[@wonderwoman5528]

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! 🧡

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

Same here, especially after long walks 💜🙏🏾

[@ChittarupaYoga]

Definitely a go to after running. 👍

[@michellevanvuuren2096]

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

[@deijnutz]

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!

[@bookdesignandhorses]

I loved the start of this it felt like a wonderful stretch, but it was tough on my wrists which surprised me as I really felt that I had got light on them the last couple of months. I fell over on the first wild thing but was ok on the second side. Definitely saving this one to try again 😊

[@RaeLoumusic]

I was the same. I went rolling over on the first but gathered my strength for the other side. Well done to us! 😊💪🏼

[@wanderwildes]

Congrats on the new digs and another great practice! It was indeed sweet and satisfying (and sneaky with the planks)! Loved it.

[@lucybayle1082]

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🩷

[@Katie-Bee]

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!

[@MichaelStallard-qf3rl]

Thank you Adriene for all your help and inspiration. 🤗

[@fluffyross2297]

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. 🙏🧡

[@RobertaA7]

Thankyou so much, Adriene xx

[@rhondakearns9070]

Just finished! I agree! Thanks so much!

[@shariannaboombastic]

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 🙂

[@heidiruthha]

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!

[@marwaeldeeb6894]

Coming on Adrienne's channel with exhausted legs, and found this prize! It was awesome! Thank you Adrienne.

[@Buttercup7713]

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!

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!

[@stephenlira5029]

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.

[@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight]

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!

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.

[@florriemccarthy2457]

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?

[@lilkob239]

GET TO KNOW🤝 - June 2024 I get to know my internal and bodily wants and needs through my yoga practice. Loving the new YWA digs😍! What a beautiful space to practice: the outside looks just as zen and relaxing as the inside🤍🌿. Wondering where it’s filmed? Anyways, focusing on the calves today was a fun and new concept: they’ve never received so much love and attention before today! Considering this month’s theme I really took the time today to get to know my physical body and what it asks of me, to feel and respond to every shape and to fully embody ME. It’s so important to be in tune with your body and listen to it, as its in constant communication with us whether we’re hungry, sad, scared, in pain, it’s always asking for a suitable, loving, caring response. Namaste my friends🙏✨💓🤗 xx

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. 🙏
