Align the heel of the front foot with the arch of the back foot. Bend the front knee to a 90 degree angle so that the front thigh is parallel to the ground.<\/p>\n

Planting the feet firmly in the ground, begin to open the torso, shoulders, and both hip bones toward the left side .<\/p>\n

Softly and slowly, take your gaze to the middle finger of the right hand.<\/p>\n

To come out of Warrior II, exhale the arms down, turn the hip bones back to the front of the mat and step the back leg up to meet the front leg. End in Mountain Pose.<\/p>\n

Repeat these steps on the other leg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
