Warrior 2

About This Class

Bryan Kest leads a concise, instruction-rich exploration of Warrior Two, tracing the pose's path from Child's Pose through Down Dog, a three-legged dog, and Warrior One before settling into the full expression of Virabhadrasana. He breaks down every layer of the alignment — flat back foot, strong back leg, bent front knee (adjustable from slight to 90+ degrees), a perpendicular spine, dropping groin, lifting chest, soft shoulders, and expanding arms — while weaving in the Sanskrit name and its mythological roots. The highlight he returns to is the spreading of the front knee and back hip, opening the pelvis and groin. Breath awareness runs throughout, and Bryan consistently offers modifications to make the pose less extreme for those who need it, making this a practical, accessible pose tutorial that also delivers a meaningful hip and leg stretch.
