Hey Gang! I hope you are enjoying the Warrior Posture practice videos. In case you missed it, here is the link for the Yoga Video Journal; Part Two, Lesson Two - Warrior Two!

I've chosen this Warrior Two video to release for public on YouTube, but first I want to re-share it for you on Patreon because I've written some follow-along notes so that you can "get to know" the routine better. It's a good sequence to have in your back pocket when you need to feel strong and open, release tension, and secure your foundations :)

Notes:

Beginning in child's pose, shift forward into half plank and press back into downward dog with feet wide to the width of your mat. Unlock tension in the backs of your legs by bending your knees, pedaling your feet, and wiggling your hips.

Secure your feet hip-width apart and embrace strength as you shift forward into plank. Then press back into downward dog.

Repetition: Inhale, forward to PLANK. Exhale, back to DDOG.

In this repetition your INHALE coordinates with tightening your muscles and your EXHALE with stretching.

>>>

Settle into DDOG and lift your right leg creating a split. Then pull your knee into your chest and step into lunge. Lower your back knee and raise your hands forward, open them down.

Repetition: INHALE, raise. EXHALE, open.

Pivot to wide legs.

Sink into TIGER with left leg squat. Then move into right foot forward WARRIOR TWO.

Repetition: Inhale, REVERSE TRIANGLE. WARRIOR TWO

In this repetition, your INHALE coordinates with tightening your muscles and your EXHALE with stretching.

TRIANGLE. Hold for 3 - 5 complete breaths.

Lower into half plank with Whale Tail for half press-ups, chaturanga, cobra, and downward dog.

>>> repeat second side, beginning with DDOG your left leg rises into a split. Find your connection through sensation in your body and focus in your mind.

(Pivot into wide legs.... take you time to repeat the sequence on your left side -- TIGER, WARRIOR TWO, REVERSE WARRIOR, TRIANGLE. Whale Tail Vinyasa.... DDOG)

Finally, step forward into STANDING FOLD and unlock tension by swaying. SQUAT w/prayer SUKASANA w/twist and eagle clasp PRESENCE
