Asana: Your Physical Practice

In exploration of asana (our physical practice experienced through yoga postures/poses), we are able to invite the advantages of proper alignment and depth to engagement into the practice.  Within the member portal, you have access to a library of asanas/postures that have been broken down with alignment and engagement aspects highlighted for the learning yogi in us all.

Warrior III  /  Virabhadrasana III

  • Warrior III is a closed-hip, balancing posture
  • The toes on the planted foot point towards the top of the mat
  • The toes on the lifted foot point towards the Earth as the heel actively presses towards the wall behind you
  • Square the hips so they are equal distance from the floor (you could stack a block on the hips and it would be level)
  • Squeeze the shoulder blades towards one another to support an open chest and long spine
  • Lengthen the spine as you reach the heart towards the front wall
  • Create a long line from crown to heel.  The body can make a diagonal shape or be parallel to the floor
