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.
