The 3 Warrior Poses in Yoga

Warrior I Pose in Yoga

Yoga is a great exercise for anyone and the following is one of the typical poses.

Stand straight with feet hip apart and breathe out and move your feet where your right foot will be behind and straight and the front one will be bent and put your arms up and breathe in.

Then turn your right foot to form a 90 degree angle and breathe out and bend your left knee a bit so that it forms a perpendicular right angle and get the back (right leg) almost straight (but if you are unable to bending it a little will do).

Lift the your torso and take your arms up in a parallel position and then connect the two palms together  and look straight ahead and stay here for three to five breaths.

Bring your right foot up and stand tall with your arms down and repeat on the other side.

 Warrior II Pose in Yoga

The following is the second warrior pose which comes right after the warrior one pose. Always be gentle with your muscles and always listen to your body if it hurts or is too uncomfortable tone it down

Stand tall with your arms to the sides and exhale and step your feet apart (starting with bringing your left foot back.

Raise your arms at shoulder length and stretch them out with the palms facing the floor and inhale

Turn the foot that is in the back at a ninety degree angle and at this point exhale as you bend your knee and inhale as you stretch your arms away from each other and make sure to keep your torso straight and your gaze over the arm of the foot that is in the back.

Stay in position for a minute and inhale and exhale, then come back to a standing position and do it on the other side.

The third one of the warrior poses is the following one and it is a little bit harder and always with all the yoga poses remember to listen to your body.

Stand tall with your arms down by your sides and exhale and fold forward bringing your hands to your feet (or as far as you can) and get yourself in a lunge position

From a firm lunge position inhale and raise your arms in front of you so that they are parallel to the ground and have the palms face each other and at this point exhale and straighten your torso and as you are moving it forward (like you are reaching for something) raise the back leg slowly.

At this point try to stay in that balancing position for about thirty to forty five seconds and then exhale and return to the lunge position and repeat on other leg.
