"Warrior II" Yoga Pose

1. Take a long lunge step with feet with feet placed in the shape of a capital "T" then slightly angle back foot towards front.

2. Bring arms up straight and strong and drop down into a lunge-type position while keeping back leg straight; don't collapse knee or space in-between legs..

3. Look directly over your front hand.

4. Relax, breath, and allow yourself to "sink" into the posture while keeping torso upright.

Tips: Warrior II is my favorite yoga pose. I'm no pro yogi but nonetheless it makes me feel strong like a warrior, beautiful, elegant, soft, composed, and alive...there is nothing it.

• Hold the pose for as little as ten breaths or up to 30 seconds--or longer if desired.

*Note: This exercise is intended for "normal healthy" individuals.  If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical therapist before continuing your exercises.
