How to do the Reverse Warrior Pose

1. Begin in Warrior II with your front knee bent and arms extended.
2. Turn your front palm up and reach that arm up and back overhead.
3. Slide your back hand gently down your back leg as you arc your torso backward.
4. Keep your front knee bent and breathe into the side of your ribs.

Tips

• Lift up through your ribs before you lean back so the stretch stays long.

Adjustments

• Keep your top arm lower or your gaze forward if your neck or shoulder feels strained.
