Warrior III

Warrior III builds strength and length in your torso, abdomen, and spine while also strengthening the legs. Warrior III is also great for improving balance and concentration.

How to do it: Stand at the back of your mat, toes and heels touching. Draw your hands up above your head. Then spread your fingers as you reach towards the ceiling. Step forward with your right foot and swing your body into a “T” shape from the side, your torso and left leg should be parallel to the floor. Find a spot on the floor in front of you to keep your balance, and as you breath in, lift your leg a little higher. Exhale and inhale again bringing your torso up. As you stand, simultaneously reach your left foot behind you as you reach your fingertips forward. Hold for 10 counts. Then, step back and repeat on the other side.
