Next we are going to look at Warrior 1 pose both seated in the chair as well as standing
behind the chair and using the chair for support. So if we're going to choose the seated option
let's start by scooting ourselves to the corner of the chair and then we're going to bring
the left leg out to the side and we're going to reach back with the right leg. Now this
leg might be long and it might not be. It might be really opened up wide if you have
been practicing this for a while or it may be a little closer in, we're just starting
out here so let's not stretch out too much about it. We are going to rotate our hips
so that they are starting to face the front leg and our back foot is at an angle about
a 45 degree angle towards the front leg and from here we can choose an arm option with
our hands at our heart center or we can extend our arms up overhead taking care here if we
have any blood pressure issues that we might want to choose this option instead and we
would want to do this on the other side as well and our standing option standing behind
the chair, taking our left foot, our toes are pointing directly forward and we will
step back with the right leg and again angling that back foot and bending that front knee
over the ankle and squaring our hips towards our chair and just light pressure towards
this chair to help keep us balanced here.
