Here's a great way to practice being in Warrior 2. Use a block as a support to help you build strength and improve your pose the next time you're on your mat.
Here’s a a tip for practicing Warrior 2. It uses a block to support you.
This is a more advanced version. Be conscious and intentional if this is something that you want to try.
Move next to a wall with a block. Bring your front foot close to the wall. Bend your front knee placing the block between the wall and your knee. You want to hold the block in place.
By keeping the arch lifted and the knee open it creates a real nice opening of the hips. Keep the stance wide, the hips and shoulders square with the arms extended out to shoulder height.
The energy it take to press down into the block to keep it in place without dropping to the floor will help you build strength in the posture.
When you're complete with your practice, simply lift the block and come back to the center .
Take a few moments to feel your body after the practice. Notice the sensations of your hips and legs and notice if you feel stronger.
Be sure to do the other side.
