"Warrior I" 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 as you drop down into a lunge-type position while keeping back leg straight; don't collapse knee or space in-between legs.

3. Look upwards.

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

Tips: Warrior I is a nice user-friendly posture. You get a nice stretch in your lats and shoulders as well as lower body.

• 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.
