Warrior 3 (Virabhadrasana III Pose)

Yoga's difficult balancing pose known as Warrior 3 (Virabhadrasana III) strengthens the legs, shoulders, and back while enhancing posture. Starting in Tadasana, raise your arms overhead, then exhale as you move your torso and arms forward. With the right leg raised straight behind you and aligned with the torso, try to form a T with your body. Engage the standing leg and elevate it while extending your arms, the crown of your head, and lifting your heel outward. Repeat on the other side while holding for several breaths.

If it is simpler to establish your balance to begin from a high lunge. There are various choices for balance in Warrior 3's modifications. You can practice balance while still having some support underneath the hands by placing a chair or some blocks underneath the hands. Simply tuck them under the shoulders to maintain the body's angle. Additionally, you can reach your arms forward and rest your hands against a wall or on top of a chair for support. As you develop balance, using these tweaks can help the body practice some of the posture's strengthening elements.
