Stand straight and breathe normally with your feet shoulder-width apart and heels aligned.
Inhale and spread your legs wide.
Turn your upper body and the right foot 90 degrees to the right and your left foot slightly inwards.
Your face, trunk, right knee and right foot are now facing one direction.
Keeping your weight centered, exhale and bend your right leg until your right knee is above your right ankle.
Your back leg should be straight.
Bring your palms together in front of your chest and lift your hands above your head in line with your forehead.
Tilt your head back to turn your gaze upon your hands and stretch your spine.
Hold the pose for 30 seconds, breathing naturally.
Now, with your feet still held apart, repeat the process on the left side.
Exhale as you get back to the initial stance and relax with your feet apart and hands by your side.
As you get more balanced, try to take your palms behind and arch your back further.
This pose strengthens the legs and abdomen and increases the flexibility in the knee and hip joints.
You have now learnt Virabhadrasana, the Warrior Pose.
