Yoga is about breathing, if you consider this from the internal and from a literal perspective of it, the nervous system is the one that controls all the organs of the body internally. Every day there is a group of people involved in a lot of stress and living lives that are constantly in trouble causing their nerves to generate a lot of pressure that impacts on the physical body. This is the reason that more and more adults practice yoga, years and years of stress and never really let go of their body.
Yoga asanas should not be painful if you breathe correctly, you can have a conversation while in a deep posture with your body and you will feel good. That is why today I want to introduce you to the Warrior pose with its different variations so that you can practice it at home:
- Guerrero I
- Warrior I
The warrior postures are actually three which are distinguished with the numbers I, II and III respectively, this is one of the best known and practiced within the world of yoga being its name in Sanskrit Virabhadrasana.
The Warrior I posture is performed by projecting both arms up with the back straight and separating the feet, while one lose extends the other lean while doing a continuous breath that can last 10 seconds.
With this posture you can work the muscles of your legs, back and arms together
Warrior II
It consists of performing the same position of the legs and back as the previous one but this time placing your arms at the sides, first in the shape of a vase, placing your hands on your hips and then extending your arms.
You can start by separating your legs as much as possible with your hands on your hips, you should feel a little pressure between your legs and then slowly taking a deep breath turn your feet to the right or left, once you are on your right or left side. Depending on which side you turn, bend the corresponding leg making sure your knee and ankle are aligned and then gently stretch your arms out to the sides.
Warrior III
This is the deepest posture of the three plus strength requires balance.
Being in the previous position with one of your legs bent, leaning your body forward with your legs straight, at first you can place your hands on your knees and then try to stretch them forward while stretching the foot that is behind as much as possible. you can.
This way you will be able to stretch your body, work on strength and balance, strengthening your legs and back muscles, among others. You will notice with constant practice your progress within each of these postures as well as the importance of a deep breath to move you to a state of meditation and connection with your body.
