Virabhadrasana

Warrior III, Virabhadrasana III The third warrior tips the whole body forward into a T: arms, torso and lifted leg in one horizontal line over a single standing leg. In this photo the back foot flexes and the hips stay level, which is the part that takes practice, since the lifted hip tends to roll open. It works the standing leg, the glutes of the lifted leg and the back muscles. Begin with hands on the hips or on blocks under the shoulders, and lift the back leg only as high as the hips stay square.
