Warrior III

You Should Feel

Work in your standing leg and core. Your whole body active and organized. Challenge in maintaining balance.

How to Get Into the Pose

• 1Standing leg strong, slight microbend in knee
• 2Hips level, lifted leg active and flexed
• 3Torso and lifted leg form one long line parallel to the ground (or as close as possible)
• 4Arms can reach forward, rest on hips, or reach back alongside your body
• 5Gaze down at the ground to keep neck neutral

Modifications

• •If balance is challenging: Keep your back toes on the ground or hands on blocks for support
• •If hamstrings are tight in standing leg: Keep a deeper bend in your knee
• •To deepen: Bring your torso and lifted leg fully parallel to the ground
