HW: Warrior Sequence (Day 6)
Virabhadrasana (warrior) II…
From Tadasana, take a biiig step back with the (e.g.) right foot, and plant it with the toes pointing toward the long edge of your mat. Left toes remain facing the short edge. You want the gap between the legs roughly about a leg length, or you can measure the distance as you… Inhale floating the arms to shoulder height, aiming for the ankles to roughly line up with the wrists. Line the front heel with the back foot arch OR heel. Strong and solid with the feet and legs, keep the outer blade of the back foot connected to the mat and press the foot tripod into the mat for balance . Draw the right kneecap up and internally rotate your femur (down toward the mat)engaging the inner thigh.
Exhale as you bend the front knee (not beyond the ankle) sinking the hips down. Simultaneously, relax the shoulder blades down and draw them together behind you. Press the front knee (left) out to the left gently. Tilt the tail bone down and lean back a little with the upper body for a long, strong, straight back, and corset the waist and abdominals in to keep balanced. Lift the crown and draw the head back a little so your neck is inline with the spine, & send your gaze over the left middle finger as you radiate the hands and arms out from the collar bones. Breath deeply and steadily, positive, strong. -
