Add personal confidence to your day with this easy, simple but powerful pose,
Warrior II, Virabhadrasana. And when you need to, call upon the warrior within.
The Warrior II
Stand in Mountain pose. Inhale and move feet three and one half to four feet apart. Turn left foot to angle, turn head to left. Stretch the arms out parallel to the floor with left arm toward left leg and right arm stretched behind you. Inhale and bend left leg to right angle, looking straight down to finger tip of middle finger as you exhale. Align your heels. Make sure that your knee is not further out than the toes so that you are not overextending. Shin should be perpendicular to floor. Hold for at least four breaths. Repeat on other side. Return to normal standing position (pose of the mountain, tadasana).
Alternate pose: Come back up on the exhalation and go back into the pose on the inhalation.
Repeat for right side. Return to normal standing position (pose of the mountain).
(do nnot practice this pose if you have high blood pressure)
