Hey yogis, I wanted to create a video tutorial that shows you how to properly do one of the most popular poses in yoga - Warrior 2! In Sanskrit it's Virabhadrasana Two.
Warrior II is in almost all Hatha and Vinyasa yoga classes, taught to beginner and advanced yogis alike. This pose has so many benefits and is physically accessible to most people, yet it is FAR from being easy!! Beginner friendly and easy are not the same thing. There is actually so much going on in Warrior 2 and it can be very easy to have bad alignment.
I probably could've added so much more to this video but I wanted to keep it short and sweet so that you'd watch it all the way through ;) I'll give you my most important alignment techniques focusing on the 3 key joints involved: ankles, knees and hips! Hopefully it will help you out and make you more conscious of your posture next time you're in virabhadrasana II.

Another pose I'm curious about for knee health is pigeon. Some styles teach it with the foot by the hip vs the shin going under the chest.
I love this - you should do a pose series
Loved this, thank you! Would love to see more such as pigeon, camel and lizard.
Great suggestions! Thank you
Loved this! It helps me, an at home yoga student, to know what I should be doing. Thank you!
You are so sweet in the end of the video .... :) It IS GREAT for me to know HOW to make poses because I have no feedback at home and I learnt yoga with you, since i started 1 year ago. One of the basics which I feel confused about, are down and upwards facing dogs... I do it but have the feeling that I am doing it not in a proper way, because my body seems not to like it.
Thank you Kassandra ! Your channel is wonderful.
ok this is by far the best explanation of warrior 2 on yt
You are amazing! I love how well you explain everything. Congratulations and thank you!
I have just started YTT this weekend and we were breaking down three poses per day. This is a really great tutorial for me, thank you Kassandra! Namaste 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you! Your explanation was so comprehensive and easy to understand!
thank you Kassandra, this is incredibly helpful! I hope you do more proper alignment videos 🥰❣️😘 have a great day!!
Thank you!
You're a fantastic teacher, Kassandra. I feel really in tune with you and feel like we're friends. This tutorial was great and now I'll approach Warrior 2 with more understanding. As others have pointed out, I'd like to see a tutorial about pigeon pose. Thank you for all your videos
Kassandra thank you. Even after YTT and teaching for three years there is room to learn. Thank you sister!
Yes! VERY HELPFUL. Thank you💛 big love from Arizona
First and the only video which talks about heel alignment. Thanks a lot
Thankyou!!! This was excellent -more please
good stuff Kassandra,
appreciate these short yoga tips to help solidify our practices,
Namaste from the Farm,
8^)
Thank you Kassandra! Warrior 1 would be great!
love your channel! thank you so much for providing such amazing yoga content.. alignment has been one of my main concerns as my practice unfolds..
a warrior one tutorial would be super!
🙏
namaste
I’ve always thought warrior 2 was so hard and it always gets taught like it should be simple! Thanks!
wow! my knees don't hurt anymore in this pose! thanks kassandra
Love it! Tank you.
i really love on how you try to teach techniques on your channel.. keep coming for more especially on the knee parts or leg part technique/s.. ty soo much! big help on my part..
You are amazing! I inspire to be as knowledgeable as you! Thank you so much for posting this content. It has helped me so very much! 🙏
Love this video!
This is super helpful! Thank you!
This is brilliant, and I think more videos like this would be very helpful. I’ve always been a bit confused by what exactly I’m supposed to be doing in this pose, so thank you very much! Triangle pose is another that I’m not quite sure if I’m ever doing it correctly, and then plow pose would be another I’d love a more in depth explanation of. I always feel like I’m gonna break my neck or suffocate under my chest with that one!
That was amazing, thank you.
Very informative! I would love to see one on downward dog 🐶
Thank you! I always thought that I was doing something wrong because it's a lot of work for me to be in proper alignment with my right foot forward. It was great hearing how we may need to make adjustments for our own unique bodies (rear foot alignment). Sometimes i feel like there's something wrong with me where the left foot forward is more accessible and flexible in the lower body. I think i now understand why. Really appreciate the tutorial explained the way you did it. have a beautiful day!
So happy this helped you! Alignment is tough because as teachers we try to do our best to give instructions that are safe and effective for everyone but we all have different bodies so it's not the same for everyone.
Great explanation
Greetings from India! dear Kassandra...Thnk u so much.. Love your yoga classes... started practice with you... Really helpful.... Thnk u
hip rotation on the back hip is a fire detail that i haven't been doing thanks!!!
Thank you
Loving the how to's
Very helpful, thank you!
great tutorial! thanks a lot for demystifying the warrior 2 pose. Just this morning we were perplexed with my husband what to the with the knees vs hips situation. will practice as per your guidelines. can you please also recommend which poses to do to open the hips to reduce the tension between the knees and the hips? thanks! :)
Thank you so much! I'd love a video on puppy pose. I always feel so much strain on my neck and shoulders, and it gets hard to breathe because my nose is against the mat. Xo
Very helpful! ❤
Thanks a lot for this helpful tutorial, I love your Channel😻
this is very informative. thank you
Love it, my teacher is always going back to basics and it's really helpful, spent an hour on triangle last week lol
Oh I love that!! There's always more to learn :)
@@yogawithkassandra so funny this week's class was warrior 2 for around 40mins! Do you have a yoga for psoas? Is that something you can do mine and tight/dysfunctional and are always cramping up in forward bending folds or binds 😁
Thank you .Could you do the video for cobra pose and sphinx pose in yin yoga, should I engage my belly muscle's in sphinx pose in yin? Thank you
Lovely. Would love to see a partner yoga class 😊
That was very good thanks. Could you do a similar informative video for warrior 1?
That was very helpful.. I work away a lot and CZcams is my go to for Yoga. Always concerned I am not doing it correct. Thanks again. Any pose you find beginners get wrong would be great for tutorial.
Good tips, thanks! I think I implenent most of those cues, though I did notice I scrunch my toes today.
this is v helpful! could you do a "how to" vid for Trikonāsana please? I'm curious as I feel as if I'm crunching into my side instead of lengthening?
Thank you so much that was great, please can you do warrior 1 as i get confused with heal heal alignment and where my hips fit in xx
Hi Kassandra, thank you so much for your clear explanation! I’ve been doing yoga for a couple of months now and I immediately noticed that Warrior 2 is a very complicated and contradictory pose. I have noticed that my hips are not yet flexible enough to properly execute it. No matter how hard I try, either I can’t push my knee outward enough so that it is in line with my toes, or my hips pop a little bit forward (as you also show in the video). What should I prioritise? Keeping my hip to te side or keeping my knee straight? Or do you maybe have some extra tips to practice opening the pelvis?
Yes!!! Great instruction. My knees always fold in. Are there specific stretches that help with this pose?
Thanks Kassandra for this
Thank u! I never had think about that the beginers poses are acctualy not easy..
This is amazingly helpful. Thank you so much. Can you do more please on different variations of triangle poses? Thank you. Namasate. Love you.
Very god information, i would also like to have Alignment for warrior 1 pose. Thanks
Thank you for this, Kassandra :))) Would you please do a tutorial like this on half moon pose?
I have one!! 😍 czcams.com/video/VFjmO2rSPkE/video.html
Thank you, very helpful. I have always marveled how students can bring their leg forward into lunge from down dog without lifting up first. I can't figure out what I need to work on to be able to have this feel like a flow vs getting up and moving into position.
I've been wanting to do a video on this for a long time and had completely forgotten! Thank you for reminding me, I'll definitely film that soon.
Yes, I'd totally love that as well!
Me too - I just can't do it, I thought it was 'cos my tummy was in the way or my shins were far too long! I've a short body and really long legs.
@@kerry00 common reasons I heard are legs being too far back from the chest or your back not being bent high enough. I heard some others I can't recall. If Kassandra does the video and we get all the answers how awesome would it be!
Very good instruction ..thank you . Would like to hear warrior 1&3 , three legged dog & chaturanga dandasana
Thank you
This was very informative. Can you do a video on proper mermaid pose? Thanks for the videos!
very nice. Would like to learn more about Halasana
❤️
Dear Kassandra... Could you please teach us some prayanam.... Thnk u
I would love a breakdown of downward dog. Love ur videos. I'm on day 8 of 30 day challenge
So what do you do if you don't have the hip flexibility to maintain the hip or knee without the other one collapsing?
The base being heel to arch sometimes is too narrow, you will be able to tell that if your front knee rolls inward. Sometimes is better to do heel to heel, or even wider side to side! The feet will be pointing in the same direction as the pelvis, that means for the female pelvis front foot slightly open, back foot turned in. Also I would like to add that on the long row if you pull the hips in opposite directions you will make your SI joint unstable, the anatomic reality of the pelvis is that it should move in one piece, never in opposite directions. We don´t want to separate our pelvis!
Good 1 April 5 2021
👍
Thank you. We do this in every class, but it is never explained.
Love your videos, but please do sometging with light
I was just telling someone that I hate warrior 2 lol definitely my least favorite pose
Thank you
