Warrior 1 & 2 pose alignment and tips! - Yoga Video

I made a video to discuss the proper alignment along with a few tips for Warrior 1 & 2 pose! These two poses are basic yoga poses that are in most āsana practices! These poses are accessable to most Yogi's. - Here are some highlights from the video: - When you bring your foot forward, keep the heels in a straight line! - Keep the front foot (right foot in this video) facing forward and the back foot (left foot in this video) turned about 45 degrees out! - Keep the front knee (right knee in this video) directly lined above the ankle! - Keep the front thigh (right thigh in this video) as parallel to the ground as possible to make an upside down L shape with your leg! - Square your hips to the front by pressing into the back foot (left foot in this video) for Warrior 1! - Keep the hips even to each other trying not to hike one hip higher then the other! - Put equal pressure into both feet and legs using the strong legs under you to hold you up! - Bring the arms straight up above you in line with the shoulders, with the elbows straight and the fingers reaching towards the ceiling for Warrior 1! - Keep your gaze infront of you! - When you move into Warrior 2 rotate the hips towards the back foot (towards the left in this video) and keep your legs and feet the same as you had them in Warrior 1! - Bring your arms out to the sides for Warrior 2 and really reach them as far away from each other as you can! - Make sure both arms are lifted to the same height! - Draw the belly in, yet let the ribs float freely above the pelvis! - Keep the gaze at the front middle finger (the right middle finger in this video)! - If you like this video, make sure to subscribe to my page to see more like it! - For more yoga videos, with new yoga videos added frequently, head over to www.ayurvedayogasana.com/virtual-streaming and subscribe to stream more videos like this!
