Warrior one is the basic standing pose in yoga. The warrior series can exercise leg muscle strength, strengthen ankle and knee joints, and beautify leg hips. At the same time, Warrior I is also an open hip pose, which can flexibly hip joints and stabilize pelvis. Warrior one can open the chest and relieve shoulder stiffness. It's a pose that can be exercised all over the body.
Let's get to know the pose first. War Land Formula, the following 👇 picture.
Practice method:
1. Stand up in front of the mat and take a big step back with your right foot. Keep your hips straight. Lower 👇
2. Inhale, extend the spine, raise your hands above the top of your head and put them together. Lower 👇
3. Exhale and bend the forelegs to the calf perpendicular to the ground. Lower 👇
Keep breathing in groups of 3 to 5 and change sides to practice.
Extend the spine with each inhale and sink the hip downward with each exhalation.
Essentials of asana:
1. The foundation is feet. Apply your feet evenly, keep your center of gravity in the middle of your body, and don't lean forward. Straighten the hind legs and step on the ground pad, especially the outer edge of the hind foot.
2. The knee of the front leg does not exceed the ankle, and the two legs are tightened toward the midline.
3. Straighten the hip.
Warrior one, there are two ways to enter. The first one is what I said above, standing in the mountain style, taking a big step back with your right foot. There is also a distance between the feet apart from one leg, with one foot rotated 90 degrees outside and the other buckled 60 degrees inside, and then turn the body to adjust the hip. I suggest beginners to use the first method, because the first method is simple, direct and less tedious, and more importantly, this method does not have to turn around to adjust the hip. Just keep the hip stable. The 👇 diagram below is the practice step of the second method, and you can compare it with the first method I mentioned above.
4. Retract the core, extend the spine upward, and extend and sink the shoulder.
One point to be noted here is that for people who are not good at the shoulder and neck, if the hands are put together on the top of the head, it will lead to shrugging and tension in the shoulder and neck. You can also keep your hands apart as wide as your shoulders.
Finally, I will show you a dynamic picture of the transition from warrior one to soldier three.
