Warrior II is a wide standing posture with one knee bent and the arms reaching in opposite directions. Adjust the stance and knee bend to build steadiness without straining the hips or knees.
Practise away from the screen with the Yoga Cards deck.
Adapt the stance for knee, hip, or groin injuries. Use support for balance and avoid forcing a painful range.
Work through the thighs and hips, plus light effort in the arms. Knee or groin pain is a reason to reduce the range or leave the pose.
Builds leg and shoulder endurance and practises coordination in a broad standing stance.
Letting the front knee fall inward, leaning the torso toward the front leg, or forcing the thigh parallel to the floor.
Shorten the stance and bend less. Rest the hands on the hips or use a stable chair with guidance.
