How to Do the Warrior Lunge with Yoga Blocks

The Virabhadrasanas, or warrior poses, are cornerstones of a Vinyasa yoga practice. These powerful standing poses strengthen and stretch the thighs, calves, back, shoulders and arms. As a beginner it is often helpful to practice modified version of poses using props. Follow these easy steps to perfect the warrior lunge with blocks.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Yoga mat
• Comfortable clothes
• Two blocks

1. Start on your hands and knees with your hands shoulder-width distance apart.

2. Bring your right foot between your hands. Your right knee should be positioned over your ankle.

3. Flex your left foot and straighten your left leg.

4. Place blocks underneath each hand. This will prevent you from curving your spine.

5. Lift your chest and lift your gaze slightly.

6. Breath deeply through the nose, enjoying the stretch.

7. Return to a hands and knees position and repeat on your left side.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure your knee is in line with your ankle. Keeping the knee in line with the ankle protects it.
