Warrior One

The warrior poses are powerful poses that embody strength, flexibility and a strong energy flow. Here is a detailed explanation of the Virabhadrasana 1 pose, from bottom to top.

• • Keep the feet about five feet apart, one foot parallel to the long side of the mat, the other parallel to the short side of the mat.
  • Front knee is bent at a 90 degrees angle. Press the back leg strongly towards the ground (to ease, lift the heel up).
  • Rotate the hips forward so that your hips and chest are facing forward.
  • Activate your bandhas, lengthen your spine up
  • Lift the hands up without loosing the connection to your torso and shoulders, so that there is space for your neck.
  • Keep your gaze at your hands.
