I tried this yoga for calves routine and it relieved tightness and helped me avoid cramps

Woman practicing yoga in living room. She is in low lunge pose, with her front leg bent at the knee and foot flat on the floor, and her rear leg extended behind and on her toes. She holds her palms together in front of her chest. She is wearing pink leggings and a white T-shirt.

I like to think that my calves are pretty strong, since I regularly run, walk, cycle and do strength training, but I still get calf cramps, especially at night. While I also do yoga a couple of times a week, I don’t feel like I stretch my calves very much or pay them enough attention. So when I found this yoga for calves routine on Yoga With Adriene, one of my favorite yoga YouTube channels, I had to give it a try.

Adriene Mischler has a down-to-earth teaching style and her routines are always accessible, functional and restorative. She focuses on doing what feels right for your body and, with more than 12 million subscribers, this approach clearly strikes a chord.
