Warrior 1, Virabhadrasana 1, again, begins in Tadasana. Let's take a look that your feet
are hip-width apart. Keeping the balance in your feet, we're going to use an inhale to
step your right foot back. But again, I'm still looking for you to keep your feet shoulder-width
apart. And then as we travel up the body, we want to take the femur of the left leg,
and plug it right back into your left hip, so that the hips stay square to the front
of your mat. With an inhale, we'll lift both arms with an effort, so the arms aren't just
there, but there's an effort to reach up, and the exhale will lunge you forward. Continue
to plug the left femur, the left thighbone, right back into the hip. So your hips stay
forward, both feet are still in Tadasana; let the shoulder blades ride down. If there's
no discomfort with your neck, you can take an effort to look up; again, with an intention
at keep the shoulder blades coming down; repeating on both sides.
