Warrior III Yoga Pose

Zain Saraswati Jamal demonstrates Virabhadrasana III, or the third warrior pose, which will challenge your balance, increase your heart rate, and build full-body strength.

Begin in standing position by placing all your weight on the right leg. With your core engaged, hinge at the pelvis, keeping your hips square to the earth, and extend the left leg behind you. Extend your arms long and fingers interlaced in steeple mudra. Keep your hands, neck, back, and heel parallel to the earth.

Take 5–10 deep breaths, then lower your leg, turn to face the opposite direction, and repeat the pose on the other leg.
