Warrior Two is an extended pose of Warrior One. So, once you have the Warrior One position down pat then we're going to take away your balance by adding in the arm. So, you'll have to work harder to maintain the pose. So, we're going to take our back foot and point it towards the front of the room. Opposite foot away from the mid line of the body. We're going to sink the hips into the pose with the front knee in line with the ankle and behind the toes. This back hip points towards the front of the room, stays nice and center. Square your shoulders over your hips. Try not to rotate towards the front with this knee. But, stay square with this hip. And, on extension arms out in peripheral vision and keep your shoulders nice and depressed and relaxed retracting the scapula. Take a big inhale up, look out towards that front leg. Big inhale and we're going to exhale. Release. Knee stacked with the ankle. Always making sure you take a moment to check your back leg and make sure that the knee stays in line with the ankle. You don't want to rotate in the knee joint. Exhale down, find your active range of motion. Think of lifting to the chest, top of the head and releasing out over the top of that thigh. Big inhale, front toe. Exhale, shoulders out over the hips. Big inhale and then exhale. Point both toes to the center of the room, releasing to a neutral posture. And, just make sure in Warrior Two that you keep a slight bend in the back knee and try to keep your foot centered towards the front of the room.
