Warrior 2 (Virabhadrasana II)

Warrior 2 increases blood flow to the legs and groin and improves the strength of the leg muscles.

  • Start with the same leg position as Warrior 1.
  • Extend your arms out to the sides and hold them outstretched, ideally at shoulder height.
  • Return your arms to the centre and then revert back to Mountain pose (see video 1). 
  • Repeat on the opposite side.
