WARRIOR 2

  1. Begin in Mountain Pose, standing with your feet hip-distance apart and your arms at your sides..
  2. Turn your right foot out 90 degrees, so your toes are pointing to the top of the mat and that the heel of your right foot lines up with the inner arch of your back leg.
  3. Raise your arms to the side to shoulder height, so they’re parallel to the floor. Your arms should be aligned directly over your legs, with your palms facing down, reach actively from fingertip to fingertip.
  4. Bend your front knee. Align your knee directly over the ankle of your front foot. Your front shin should be perpendicular to the floor. Sink your hips low, eventually bringing your front thigh parallel to the floor.
  5. Press down through the outer edge of your back foot, and keep your back leg straight.
  6. Keep your torso perpendicular to the floor, with your head directly over your tailbone.
  7. Turn your head to gaze out across the tip of your right middle finger. Broaden across your collarbones and lengthen the space between your shoulder blades.
