Warrior 3- Looks Easy but Hard

[sjoes006]

Holding a perfect warrior three, especially for wide hipped women, at the end of a yoga session is hard. I love and like warrior one and two but warrior three held for all long time, especially if gazing up into the mirror, is hard.

Balance hips, back body. Level hips level everything.

Moves like this are why I love yoga.

I agree. I love flow also, but bikram when I want a challenge or need calming down/feeling angry. The harder the poses, the better. Sweating like hell seems to calm me best. It's nice to notice how when you begin you feel off balance, and then slowly align throughout.

I sometimes rename the poses with smartass names too, lol.

Just tried it...
Failed :'(

Too many yoga styles... hard to choose...
I prefer something thats more into making us move better, and work elasticity.

I love yoga. It keeps me centered, balanced and flexible.

Yeah a lot of people think they are doing warrior 3 correctly but it's about form. Women like me tend to raise the hip they aren't standing on and thats not the proper form and you don't get the true strength from it.

Hips even and reaching with hands and foot flat back.

I've been in a class without mirror and I hate it but it does force me to actually check my position and engagement. Then the instructor comes and corrects if need be.

My school had us do yoga for a while, I never really cared for it

[sjoes006]

There are many kinds of yoga. It took a long time for me to find the one I like which is flow with Milky Chance and what not playing.

Does not look easy, I'm flexible like a pencil. If that is really you in your display picture, how...

Not the myTake

No that's not me that's a commercial photo of someone doing a scorpion.

I can and always have done a scorpion just not always balanced wiith straight arms. I tend to fall into a backbend after 30 seconds or so. But my feet completely touch my head and down on my forearms I bend into a band.

My Dad's family is very musical and dancers by genes. My two female cousins are also great contortionists.

That's not the right way to put it when having to stretch and feel a burn people are always like you did what with your limb?

I can do it but only if my hand touch the wall if not I don't have enough balance to stay
