The Mindful Minute - Warrior 2

Warrior 2 is a pose for mental and physical strength and endurance. Let's learn to practice it next to a chair or a wall.

From mountain pose, stand with your right side facing the seat of a chair or the wall. Step out wide, lining up your wrists over your ankles. If this stance is too wide, adjust to a shorter stance. Spin your right toes toward the chair or wall, careful to keep your right hip facing in the same direction as your left hip. Bend your right knee over your ankle (your shin will touch the seat of the chair if you are using one). Make sure your shoulders stay stacked over your hips and your spine is long. Raise your arms to shoulder height, with confidence, and turn your head to the right. Stay here for a few breaths, then change sides. Notice how you feel!
