Physically, what’s it good for?
- Strengthens the feet, thighs, hips, core and arms.
- Stretches and simultaneously strengthens the inner thigh/groin area.
- Builds lung capacity through deep breathing while in the pose
Warrior II is one of my favourite poses. It’s particularly good for runners and cyclists as there’s a lot of hip strength required for it. There’s so much to do in it. Once in position, stay there for 6 deep breaths. I find myself constantly scanning my body in my mind from the top of head to the soles of my feet. Have a go and let me know what you think!
