Gracefully and Grandly is from the movie A League of Their Ownthe segment where all the girls went to finishing school
Thank you! I appreciate it! I love having this outlet to share and grow with you. Please do follow along and let me know what you think and how it goes! I love the feedback. Yoga should be fun too. Don’t forget to relax and have fun!
I’m absolutely in love with this nice soft sweet beautiful voice!
Hi friend! Long time no see �� Doing some foundations practice with you tonight to see if I’ve been doing Warrior 3 correctly. So happy that thing you said about feeling like flying through the air when you practice it often. It feels just like that now, but I try to remember not to get lazy with practice and take it for granted because there were many days I couldn’t do it before. Namaste ��
You are awesome:) stay true to your heart. Lots of love my friend. You literally had a huge part in changing my life for the better. Thank you from Austria
Why does this pose kick my ass? My back arm feels like it weighs a ton and my deltoids start to give out. I feel like the weakest girl in the room, and I’m a guy. I’m fit too and I lift for my upper body. What am I doing wrong? My shoulders also feel like they’re super inflexible, since just getting my arms even takes effort.
Hi dear… I have just started to watch and practice ur vid…..these vid. Giving confidence to me….thanku a ton… Can u plz tell me how many time I shud repeat any pose?
Hello, Adriene, I want to thank you very much for these videos they seem to be VERY helpful with correcting postural problems:D It nice to see some videos from someone who definitely knows what they’re talking about:)
I just wanted to ask: I have a major issue with apotheosis I never have back pain, but I do have issues with blood circulation in the legs and when I sit down, too often my butt when I stands up. Are there any stretches that I can do to correct my lower spine and posture?
I love u adrienne love your videos you funny. I do yoga class ever Wednesday evening with enya in dun laoghaire. Love niamh Hackett wb ps
I have been doing yoga for years, but for some reasons, warrior 2 is killing the outside of my ankles on the back leg. Any idea why?
This shop is Good, you could get free yoga bag there
# https://t.co/kD4TA2a6jb #
No need to plus the the bag, just help the shipping
Love the Warrior pose.. and the Warrior.. Just subbed… and look forward to more. Thank you Elizabeth
Wonky Warrior I I love it A humorous way to remember to ground..
Your yoga methods are so cool! Vira Bhadrasana is a good yoga for leg strength. ( #tuttu‘stoylab)
Adriene thank you for the love and transforming energy which you put out there through your videos! I was trying at yoga for a few years before your videos made me see inward and really cherish the practice! Much love from London
I love warrior pose. Very good for stretching. My favorite is dancing warrior.
Dear Adriene,
Thank you so much for your videos! You make my days now:D <3 Your explanations are very clear and it's the first time when I really understand what I have to do with my body in the yoga practice! I love your videos!
Sincerely yours
Iskra
Which lineage turns the back foot inward on warrior 2? I have never seen this before in any lineage. The back foot should be parallel to the back of the mat with energy coming down through the small toes and grounding. Warrior I will turn the toes in but the stance is slightly smaller. Both poses keep the heels in one line. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
I find this pose very challenging for the leg which is holding my weight, also I have a problem with levelling my hips, not only in this pose but in warrior 1 and 2..I plan to persist because it has been a month now, since I stared watching you Adrienne and exactly the same amount of time has passed since I have started practicing yoga, and it helped centre me, and focus on what’s important in this hectic and stressful time in my life. Since I was a child I had problems with recurring pain in my legs, the pain shifts from the hip to the ankle and usually it takes resting and good night sleep or painkillers to stop hurting but recently I had an idea to practice yoga when I felt pain and only 20 min of yoga took the pain away, and I was just so focused on doing yoga that I did not feel the pain during the practice, and when I was done it was just gone, not reduced, but completely gone, like magic:)..I think the runners lunges helped a lot, I used to hate them but since you explained them so well, and how you can move in the pose and not be rigid it transformed them, now I quite enjoy them, so I want to thank you Adrienne for all the effort and love you put in your videos, thank you from my heart. (sorry for my bed use of English:),,many hugs and kisses from Croatia!
I have been practicing warrior 3 for days with no success. But the way you explain it in this video I finally got it!!! Thank you so much you beautiful!
A League of Their Own! That was also my favorite quote when I was a young lass!
I’m beginning yoga teacher..really like your cue-ing and explanations..thanx
Dear Adriene,
I love your videos! I think you are a great, encouraging teacher. I have a big problem with balancing poses and perhaps you might be able to help. Even with your instruction, I have a super hard time keeping my feet from rolling in and out. I have weak arches, and possibly weak ankles as well. Not only do I wobble all over the mat, I also get really intense burning sensations in my feet and ankles. What do you recommend for strengthening these areas so that I might be able to one day manage these poses pain and wobble free?
Thank you so much!
Kayla (all the way up in Vancouver, Canada!)
Sounds like those shoulders are TIGHT. I will do a little shoulder opener sequence for you to practice before you do these standing warriors. For now, focus on lower body and building the pose strong from the feet up. tuck your pelvis and make sure that the shoulders have a great foundation to be free on. Then bring your finger tips to your shoulders so that your elbows stick out like wings. While in the pose, move the elbows in, up and around and downin a circle. Slowly opening the shoulders.
Sometimes the captions get it wrong in a hilarious way. Turn on the captions for this video and jump to 3:22 for some unexpected encouragement!
Thanks Adriene!
Hello Adriene,
Recently subscribed to your channel. Your explanations to the poses are very thorough which are very helpful in doing the pose right. I hope I will learn a lot with your channel. thanks
I have a question regarding hip alignment. I was watching a video from another yoga instructor who happens to be an ashtanga yoga instructor (not sure if alignment for warrior 2 is different in ashtanga?) Anyways, in her instructional video she said that your hips are supposed to face the (hips parallel to) the long side of your mat. That you’re supposed to start with your legs spread wide, toes forward, and then spin your left toes (back leg) inward 45 degrees & your right toes (front leg) 90 degrees while also EXTERNALLY rotating your trochantus (spelling??) major A.K.A the ball joint of your femur has to externally rotate in your hip socket to keep your hips facing the same exact way that they were when you were standing with your legs wide apart in the beginning or parallel to the long side of your mat. I was under the impression that your hips were supposed to face forward, towards the short end or FRONT of your mat, as they do in warrior 2? She says that when an instructor tells you to “tuck your tailbone” or square your hips forward that that is incorrect. I’m SO confused now and would love an explanation on hip alignment in warrior 1, warrior 2, and reverse warrior. I know you’re super busy but maybe you would consider making a video that shows the proper hip alignment for those 3 poses sort of flowing from warrior 1, to warrior 2, and thru to warrior 3? Thanks so much! You can email me at [email protected] if you like or respond here.
I love you channel! And this pose is my new favorite! Thanks!
Hi Adriene, love love love ALL your videos! could you please do a yoga sequence for migraine?:-)
Thank you for explaining it so thoroughly. Again your humour is great!
So what is the hip alignment in Warrior 2? surely not the same as indicated in Warrior 1 right? and also this posture looks really intense for the back knee as it has a lot of pressure is a bit of an off alignment. any pointers there? THANKS!
Great tutorial! I’m working on my balance and know how important it is, so this was super helpful!
Loved this always wanted to move from each warrior pose to the other! Thanks x
Nice video beautiful friend. New friend here. Hope you visit my channel too. Thanks.
NEW EPISODE: Our Foundations of Yoga Series continues! WARRIOR II
Check in with your center. Open those hips. Find that calm breath as you balance strength with grace.
Love love love this! Im working on keeping my balance at the moment.
Hello Adriene.. i please need one clarification.. suppose i m doing warrior 2 on left side.. then the left heel which is pointing outwards should ne in line with the right arch or the right heel??
Thank you so much for your video ��
@Rangieg you need to be very careful with the allignment.Make sure your knee never passes your ankle, there should be a 90deg. angle. As well make sure your knee does not collapse inward. It can help to genlty lift your front heel than turn the knee out a bit and place the heel back down. If that does not help: back off a little.
nah, got the wrong movie but the video is great. So cool to have found your channel and to look forward to hitting the mat everyday. yay, thanks
Hi! I have a small request or wish or whatever you want to all it. Could you do a video of sun salutation?:) xx
Hi
Would you recommend this to a 75 year old men with peripheral neuropathy?
I have a hard time balancing on one leg. Any suggestions? Great video, thank you for sharing.
What should I do if I hurt myself doing this lol i stopped after that for a week but want to start again.
Coming here from doing today’s “thirty day challenge” practice, I didn’t really understand what you meant by yoga hurting the feet. I do now. Ouch!
Hey, Adriene!:)
I was wondering if you could, maybe, post a full workout video suited for those who have scoliosis. My sister has it and she’d really like to do yoga with me while I do it with you.:)
Thanks a bunch for this in advance and thanks even more for the way you very patiently and slowly explain ”yoga stuff” tu us, who are pretty new to it, but would like to make it a part of our daily habit. You rock!:)
I’ve been practicing yoga for a few months now, and this pose is so hard for me. My back leg feels uncomfortable and twisted, bordering on pain. And my front knee gives out and tries to straighten. I hope with continued practice I can get it better.
As always a great explanatory video of yours:) What I would really appreciated is another flow video. I always enjoy your Vinyasa Flow video a lot and would love to see more like that:)
Doin some #yogarevloution prep 😉 your videos are timeless thank you Adriene
I wish the videos were more symmetric. Rewatching breaks my flow:(
These videos are very helpful:) thanks.
What do you recommend that those with tibial torsion ( when the shin bone is twisted so knees and toes dont line up) do though? I cant get my knees and toes to line up
Wow!! Yoga is a new world to me, but i had a back injury 10 years ago, and think i really need to get serious in strengthening It!! I love the breakdown you gave of warrior! ❤️
Hey Angelina!! This is your best one yet I think. Love it and I love the balancing part of this routine as it really helps your core. Thank you, you are amazing!!
Does it make you feel good? If yes, then do it. I make an honest effort to not shove yoga into my friends faces or look down on those who do not do what I do. Its hard because I want them all to experience the power of YOGA! Instead, I do what makes me happy & I encourage others to do the same. I find what feels good. I make it my own. I let the practice speak for itself and boom before you know it they what to know what it is you are doing….because you seem happy. If you love it practice.
I got an achillodynia. Can this help to cure it?
or would it be contraproductive?
i plead for answers:)
Hey Adriene!
I’ve been practicing yoga for a little over a year, and I’ve already learned a lot. Your videos are so helpful anytime I need a refresher on a basic pose or want to learn something new. On warrior 2, I’m still working on my form. Am I supposed to bend my back knee a little? If so, that’s probably why I have knee pain sometimes huh D: anyways, thanks for the awesome videos! Namaste:)
My standing leg is shaking while following you throu this video.
I’m currently on 18th day of 30 day challenge, stoped by to check in with my foundations.
Hi, Adriene! Long-ish time follower… Thanks for posting these for those of us who are unable/unwilling to go to a gym!
Thank you for this video!
Gonna try them!
regards from Rotterdam:)
I also would like to confirm the positioning of the hips for this pose. So far I have been doing it with my hips open to the side rather than facing forward. Some folks have said that this is right but I was wondering if you could confirm that for all of us? Thank you for your time.
Why hello, I cannot seem to stay motivated with doing any type of work out. I love doing yoga and I’d like to be very good at it, but I always seem to talk myself out of doing anything good for myself such as eating right and working out. I tell myself I have no time. When really I have more than three hours before I have to be to work. Yes I have a baby and a home to keep clean but I still think I should be able to fit a healthy lifestyle in my daily life. Please let me know if you have any pointers. Thank you.
Hey Adriene,
My guru says my hands and legs are hyperextended in Warrior 2 and Trikonasana, how do I correct it? Please help.��
ive watched warrior 1 & 2 foundations and for some reason, both poses are hurting my knees. Mainly my back knee, but the front one a little as well. Do you know why that could be? My knee doesn’t go over my toe, and I do ski a lot, which is waring on knees.
My back arm hurts a little but, hey, that means I still need to practice more right? Love it!
Thank you….as someone just out of a wheelchair and with little mobility you helped me with the impossible seeming worrior pose today!!!
So to clarify, in warrior one our feet should be on two separate ‘rail road tracks’ as Adriene would say, but in warrior two they’re on the same line?
I do yoga every day to your videos. I really appreciate you putting these out.
Hi Adriene. I love your instruction through the poses and explanations of what the different body parts (for lack of better words) should be doing. I have a hard time with my hips keeping facing forward as I am in this pose. In fact, I’m not sure I can keep them facing forward as soon as I go to turn my toes out. I did do your hp opener video. I know I am super tight in my hips. Is there anything else you can suggest or say about it?
This was really informative and it’s clear you absolutely love this stuff. Your energy is so calming too! Great video!
Hi Adriene! I have been fancy this pose and now I can do it gracefully! so happy with my progress!:) Love, your Yogi xoxo
Every girl in this league will be a lady. And gracefully and grandly. gracefully and grandly. A league of their own:D
Hello Adriene. I love your tutorials, very easy to understand. I am knew to all this and in school to become a teacher. For my homework I am to instruct a Warrior 2 pose from Tadasana and than getting out of it? Any advice? THank you
Sometimes that back arm feels like it gets left behind, huh? There is even a moment in this video where you I’m talking and then realize I now need to address that back arm and integrate it. INTEGRATE. Key word! I encourage you to focus on the pose from the ground up so maybe that means keeping hands on the waist for a couple of breaths (or forever:)
yoga is the greatest thing i’ve found in life… sounds silly but i really believe in it
Fantastic video of the warrior post 1 2 3. Love stretching my legs.
This was much easier than warrior I for me. Thanks for all the foundation videos it’s really been a nice slow easy intro to yoga for me! Thank you thank you thank you!
For this pose, I have a question regarding torso position. Should your torso be pointing towards your front leg, perpendicular to it, or somewhere in the middle? Or does it generally not matter? Same question regarding where the hips should be.
This. This is a good thing. I don’t want to annoy the crap out of you.:-) Hooray! Welcome to the channel! Good luck with your running and tending to recoveries. Please look for the Yoga For Runners video that will post soon and send me questions or thoughts for runners anytime! xx
Hope you enjoy this step by step tutorial on Warrior pose 1 2 3 (yoga for leg strength) yoga basic pose for beginners. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comment section.
I expected my thighs to be my point of struggle here, but was surprised when my thighs did fine, but my arms were thinking of tapping out. I use my arms a lot at work (manufacturing), and I stretch them frequently, but it seems I need to put a conscious effort into focusing on them separately.
Hello Adriene! Thank you so much for your videos, I started a few weeks ago and I really like your way of working with the idea of “find what feels good”. Maybe you said that here and I didn’t get it, but I’m not sure which leg should carry the weight of the body in this pose (in my case I find I’m mostly using the front leg). Thank you again, and greetings from Barcelona, Spain:)
Hey Adriene! I’m very new at yoga. I just started going to classes once a week and the first class we learned the warrior poses. I want to master it so I’m at home watching videos on it. I understand everything BUT when I go into warrior 2 I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with my hips. For warrior 1 I start with them facing forward but then they start slanting to the side when I going into 2.
Thank you Esther for your clear, articulate and concise experience in engaging in Humble Warrior. It’s very helpful
@InVINCEab13 The shaking is a sign of fatigue in your muscles. Holding the positions too long if it hurts can cause a strain and put you out for a few days. There is a difference between pushing your body in small amounts and overdoing it. -I was a car accident survivor and both legs were shattered. My doctors say that I will be healing for the rest of my life. I experience the same shaking. Listen to what your body is telling you and go at your own pace.
Wow, I just figured out a way to do Warrior 3 that challenges me AND feels good. I had only seen examples with all limbs at exactly 90 or 180 degrees, and I can only do that while gasping for breath! But with a wee modification or two, I can do it and keep practicing. Yay! Thanks Adriene!
is there anything different i can do with my arms, or anything i can do to strengthen them? i was following along and already a minute into it my shoulders were killing me. my upper body is incredibly weak, even holding my arms up is super tiring.
Fantastic, I even snook in reverse warrior on each side and was sure to keep my rib cage lifted. Jai Namaste ����
Yes, there is something I can say about that… Don’t worry about squaring your hips! Seriously! Take a nice wide base & let the anatomy doing the talking! Really! I have been giving myself & my students permission lately to experiment with this lately & it is AWESOME. My body has already changed in the posture just from allowing my right sit bone to follow my right leg & the left the same. I can talk more about this on a Vlog as I was inspired by Leslie Kaminoff on this one.:-) great question!
Ive hurt my knees a bit doing yoga incorrectlypaying attention to knees and feet is so important. Thanks for all you do!!
Hi Adriene
I Love how you teach
I am new to Yoga and always thought it was difficult to learn
but you make it fun and easy
Love your style of delivery authentic, detailed and very helpful. Thanks
It should be fun and full of ease/easy! Thanks for the lovelet me know how it unfolds!!
I love how you break down yoga poses it is extremely helpful and appreciated!
Hi Alexandra, I’m so glad to hear this! I hope to continue to inspire you as this message inspires ME. Lets do it!

Hahaa! Thanks my friend! I do a lot of Voice Over workin fact I am doing a session today. But maybe I need to start volunteering some time at the Library!:)
Thank you again.
I love your videos: I just completed a teachers training. What are the physical, mental
and emotional benefits of warrior 2?
Hey Adriene! When in warrior 2, are our hips squared to the front or slightly angled? It looks like your hips are slightly angled towards the front, is that ok? Mine usually are in the pose
Yay! Triangle and Tree are on the way and will be apart of the Foundations series! Flat feet are not bad feet and often do not cause any problems we just think that because people told us to think that. However, I can offer some tips for your sweet flat feet in your poses as well as offer a special Yoga for the Feet video. Hows that!? <3
I just realized I have the same yoga mat as you! Got it from Walmart!:D
Oh and is it just me who thinks she has lost weight? She looks so much slimmer now.:)
NEW VIDEO: Our Foundations of Yoga series continues with WARRIOR III. This episode includes a shout out to one of my favorite movies, way too much chatter about Sissy Bounce AND I wear my favorite warrior t-shirt from one of my favorite places on earth, El Cosmico. Try this fierce pose and let us know how it goes! #yoga #yogaforhealth
Adriene, another great lesson. I have a problem with my balance on one leg and tend to wobble. It is more pronounced on one side. Love the practices that you offer here. Being self conscious these private sessions are perfect for me. Thank you again for all the Wisdom you share. Aloha.
I dig your teaching style. It’s making me want to try to follow a long with you, and I have never tryed yoga before. I think your students are quite lucky to have such an awesome teacher.
Excellent video.When I’m performing warrior 1 and especially during 2 my back leg is shaking alot, especially in my thigh. Is this bad? Should I just continue with the stance or should I stop and do other strengthening?
I am so glad I did this video before today’s #yogacamp. About halfway through I remembered the movie A League of their Own!
Hey Adriene..great to learn from you always…You are such an inspiration…We have also tried to create Something related to Worrier 2 Pose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8PkuzYL_hc
@yogatic Thanks Esther…! After reading this I realized my knee passes my ankle sometimes, so I’ll work on that…and I’ll try the lifting of the heel…. Thanks again… ☺
I finished 30 days of yoga and now I am picking some poses from the foundations series to do! I love following these videos and the way a Adrienne talks makes me so happy even if I am having a terrible day!
Esther I so appreciate how you guide us through each pose explaining very specifically the correct way to hold our bodies and on what to focus. You are a pleasure to listen to and watch. Also the yurt you are in is just lovely and adds to the richness of your practice. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I’m fairly new to yoga and I’ve been having such a hard time with this pose. This video has helped. Also, where you quoting A League of Their Own? I love that movie! 😉
Thanks for the video. I workout regularly with heavy weights and my back is pretty strong. I was asked to Cobra pose when there was a subtle pain the back. Physio could explain why this pose works but could not explain how to get into the pose. I always wondered why it felt so painful and hard. It’s just like you said. I was using all the strength in my arms to get into that pose. I tried it the way you explained and it was a smooth and nice stretch. Thanks for the video Adrienne:).
Hiii �� Stopping by for some more midnight foundations practice tonight:) I finally built up the courage to go to a live Yoga class at my gym and it was a really cool experience. Putting in the extra work to learn these foundations over the weeks, and doing the 30 Day Challenges as consistently as possible really prepped me well for the class. In class, I learned that hard floor is quite intense (and not anything like carpet at home), so ouchy knees. Lol. But I was able to find my own flow with the instructor and often didn’t have to look when she transitioned to and from asanas. It felt awesome and gave me a lot of energy to begin the day! My gratitude for you teaching us is endless ��
Hi, Adriene! I love your videos. A question: You are saying that we have to “tuck the pelvis”, why? AI send you a hug from Argentina:)
Thank you so much Adriene!! Your yogi spirit is really inspiring! It makes me forgive a lot about my “non-perfection” while practice. Thank you so much for this! And I hope you will come up with a yoga sequence for strong leg:)
Great vid! I have a question though, I’ve been doing body balance for a few months now and I’ve noticed that whenever I do the warriors my knees kinda hurt…Should I back off on that or maybe my pose is not the right one? Any advise? Thanks Esther!
Thanks for this great tutorial, Angelina! Really enjoyed it and loved your intro about courage.
I love you! You have great energy, and offer many variations of each pose so that the integrity isn’t compromised. I love this focus. It’s not a competition with others or yourself. It is about being where we are and taking ourselves to that threshold. Practice and it comes! Thank you. Keep on doin what you’re doin girl!!
Been subscribed for a while, love the videos! I recommend them to anyone who asks about yoga resources.
Totally unrelated, I think you would make the best ever reader of children’s stories.
this is back to back video on opening and releasing hips; the result is when i walk my hips are swaying like a woman; lol
i’ve noticed when trying to do poses like this i can’t get my arms to raise up very high.are there any poses you would recommend to get arm flexibility in that area?
