This is one of my favorite practices -the wall is a wonderful tool to use in exploring our poses further. It gives you that stability and alignment that allows your body to just open and relax. Warrior 2 (Virabhadrasana 2) is all about external rotation of the thighs, creating a more open hip and pelvic area. It is also about lengthening through the upper body as the arms pull away from the mid-line. Though it looks like a straightforward posture, it is actually quite "busy".Quote: "Being present is not difficult. Remember to be present is."
Because we have been spending so much time with our legs and hips, I wanted to use our upper bodies a bit more for this practice. So, I chose these postures to emphasize our use of our back body (rhoboids, trapezius), chest (pectoralis), arms, and shoulders. Remember that in all poses, however, be conscious of your core - for example, the forearm planks in this class seem like a lot of shoulder work. However, the more your core is contributing, the more ease you will find in the pose."A river requires strong banks as well as flowing water. Find harmony between the steady and firm and the soft and yielding."
