The Warrior Two Yoga Pose for Athletes

The next pose is Warrior 2. It's another hip opener, this time with the front knee staying bent just like in the lunge. So you can step your left foot back, have your front heel intersect the arch of your back foot. When you bend your front knee working towards the right angle, try to draw your thigh bone back into your pelvis. Square your hips towards the side. Feel a nice opening in the front of the groin, the inner thighs. This is great to stretch your inner thigh muscles. As you extend out through your fingers, drawing from the heart center out in both directions, try to keep your shoulder blades drawing down your back. When you gaze out over the front middle finger with a nice length in the back of your neck. Inhale. Press into your feet. As you exhale you can straighten your front leg, release your arms down and step your back foot forward.
