Yoga Asana Lab: Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I)

Asana: Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I)
Brief alignment: Come to the top of the mat. Step your right foot back and spin it in while squaring the hips. Bend the front knee so it tracks over the ankle. Keep on squaring the hips as you press through the outside edge of your back foot. Raise your arms over your head with your palms touching, and open your mid back as you gently gaze up to your hands.
Benefits: Strengthens the legs, stretches the calves, opens the heart
Contraindications: Knee injury
Yogea Asana Lab breaks down your favorite classical poses - guiding you through safe alignment and smooth transitions. It is not a yoga routine, and requires a warm up depending on the complexity of each asana. Each pose is demonstrated only on ne side, so please, don’t forget to do it on the other. The idea is to offer some valuable alignment and energetic tips on how to progress from simple to complex asana, while enjoying a safe and pain-free practice.
