(variant 2, similar to B.K.S. Iyengar’s Warrior pose 3)
From the standing position, or from the previous Virabhadrasana variant, lean forward and lean against the hip, try to straighten the supporting leg, stepping with the opposite leg back.
IF YOUR PHYSIOLOGICAL range is wider, straighten your arms, direct them forward, stretching out the crown of the head with them.
PAY YOUR ATTENTION:
— the supporting leg should be fully straightened
— focus your eyes on keeping the balance at one point in front of you on the mat
— align your back leg, body, and hands
— place the palms at the shoulder width, direct them at each other
— relax your neck.
If the latissimus dorsi is used to unbend the spine, it will make raising and stretch the hands difficult. Legs standing too far from each other create a large load on the pelvic area, involving the hip muscles to maintain balance, but the center of gravity moves downward, which simplifies keeping the pose a bit.
— ELIMINATES THE IMPACTION of your back and shoulder girdle
— tones the leg muscles, giving them a beautiful outline
— reduces the number of fat deposits in the pelvic region
— optimizes the digestive system function
— helps to make your sense of balance perfect, preparing you for more complicated asanas
— improves your pace and pose.
Attention: Don’t keep this pose for a long time, because with such position of the head and neck, there will be a considerable load on the heart. There are no specific contraindications to the pose. For people who had problems with radiculitis or lumbago need to tale and exit this pose slowly. As a result of practicing this asana, the chest becomes elastic and, as they say in yoga practice, opened.
