Virabhadrasana

Warrior II, Virabhadrasana II Same legs as Warrior I, but the hips open to the side and the arms stretch out level with the shoulders, gaze over the front fingers. This photo catches the essentials from the front: a wide stance, the front knee tracking toward the middle toes, the torso stacked upright rather than leaning forward. It builds endurance in the thighs. When they start to burn, keep the shoulders soft and the arms long instead of letting the front knee drift inward.
