The Poses and Flow: A Deep Dive Into the Movement

Adriene's Day 10 practice typically features a well-rounded sequence, blending familiar poses with some new challenges. You can expect a good balance of standing postures, hip openers, and perhaps a gentle backbend or two. The flow is designed to gradually increase your body awareness, and the poses work together, creating a beautiful harmony. The main goal here is to get you moving, flowing, and feeling amazing. The yoga flow will help you increase your body awareness and improve your balance, coordination, and proprioception. You will feel the benefits of increased circulation and energy levels. The practice often begins with a grounding sequence, to help you center yourself. You'll likely start with some gentle stretches, like cat-cow, to warm up your spine.

The transitions are usually smooth and guided, so you feel safe and supported. As the practice progresses, you might find yourself exploring more challenging poses, like warrior poses, or triangle pose. Adriene always offers modifications, making the practice accessible to all levels. Her cues are clear and encouraging, helping you to find the right alignment for your body. Remember, everyone's body is different, so it's essential to listen to your own needs and adapt the poses as necessary.
