"I'm Linda Black. We're going to move now into another warrior series. Stepping back with the right leg. We'll start off in Warrior 2 position. With the arms extended, the chest facing the side wall. Awesome. Then we're going to bring the fore arm to the thigh. And lift that right arm, up and over. Towards the ear. This is called extended right angle. Beautiful. Lifting, staying out of the shoulder's important. So if you press down, through the thigh. And get some space in the shoulder. Very nice, awesome! Same energy, out through the back side of the thigh. And then rotate the chest upward. Take your gaze to the side wall. Hold the shoulder blades together. We're going to move from this position into Trikanasana. I'm going to use a block. Let's get a thick one for Gentry So placing the hand on the block and straightening the leg. It helps to push through the ball of the foot. As you bring the legs closer together, squeeze the inner thighs. And get a nice strong stance through the leg. Otherwise, you'll tear a hamstring. We don't want to do that. Trikanasana, excellent! From Trikanasana come back into Warrior 2. So lifting the arms at the same time, bending the front knee. And then, we'll straighten the front knee. Turn the toes in. I'm going to move the block to the other side. And we'll switch to the opposite side. And on the next frame, we'll show you how this is done on the right side. Great job!"
