Warrior II: From the Ground Up

Teaching Yoga: Alignment - Warrior II: From the Ground Up When the front knee collapses in Warrior II, the instinct is to cue the knee. But the knee is almost never where the conversation starts. In this video we build Warrior II from the ground up...because that's where the organization actually begins. Both legs as one connected system, from the feet up through the hips. When the foundation is working, the front knee takes care of itself. You'll learn: Why the front knee is a signal, not the source and where to look instead How the back foot and back leg organize everything above them The front thigh spiral and how to cue it from the hip rather than the knee Why the outer edge of the back foot is one of the most useful things to watch for in this pose Three refinements from the ground up and cues to bring into your next class There is no one right way to do this pose. Each body and its structure are unique. These landmarks are meant to be supportive rather than corrective.
