Join Jennifer Dixon with Thrive Yoga and Wellness and Thrive Online your go to online yoga community with yoga inspired workouts you can do from the comfort of your home that will challenge you, help you build strenth, flexibility, burn calories and reach your wellness goals
In this tutorial, you will learn how to do Warrior 1, or Virabhadrasana 1 in sanskrit. This is a basic yoga pose found in many different types of yoga classes and has many different ways you can practice. Here, Jennifer talks about "best practices" you can do to help keep your back safe and pain free.
Key points to remember:
1) Your front foot is pointing straight ahead
2) Your back foot is at a 45 degree angle (so pointing the front corner of the mat)
3) Feet are working towards heel to heel alignment, but that doesn't have to happen, you can have your legs wider for stability as well as to allow the hip flexors to relax and stretch
4) Your hips are trying to be level and squared to the front
5)Your arms are straight up, pinky fingers rotating towards each other
6) Chest is proud, but don't stick your ribs out.
7) Try to square your shoulders off to the front and hold your shoulders down and away from the your ears.
8) Gaze is towards your fingers or up at your third eye
9) Front knee is bent towards 90 degrees
10) Back leg is working toward being straight
11) Your belly is IN (A LOT)
12) Your tail bone is lengthening down
Remember, always keep your stomach muscles engaged and try not to tilt that tail bone out. (this cue can reduce back pain) This is a great pose to build strength and flexibility at the same time!! You are opening up the back leg's hip and psoas, creating space in the back and in the shoulders and tremendous strength in the front leg and abdominals.
