Warrior 1. One pose. Strength and stability.
How to do Warrior 1 (Virabhadrasana I) for beginners: step one foot back, turn the back foot out a little, rest the back heel down, bend the front knee over the ankle, turn your hips forward comfortably, reach both arms up, soften your shoulders. Repeat on the other side.
What Warrior 1 is known for:
✔ Leg strength: the front thigh and the back leg both work to hold the pose.
✔ Hip-flexor stretch: the back hip opens as the front knee bends.
✔ Balance practice: two feet on parallel tracks teach you to stay steady.
✔ Overhead reach: arms lift and the shoulders and neck get a stretch.
✔ Posture and alignment: knee over ankle, back heel down, hips turning forward comfortably.
✔ Body awareness and focus: holding the pose draws your attention to your breath and your feet.
Hold a wall if you wobble. Stop if it hurts. If you have a knee, hip, shoulder or balance concern, check with your doctor first.
