Warrior II Pose
Most of us have tighter stronger outer hips and buttock and weaker inner thigh. This is caused by some of our sports activities and mainly by sitting in chairs.
This lunge pose straighten yours quadriceps and tones your inner thighs which in turn relive the outer hips of their tightness. Separate your legs 4-5 feet apart. When your arms are extended, your wrist should be right above your ankle. Turn your right foot out and your left foot straight ahead. Now keeping the arches of your feet lifted, engage your leg muscles and hug into the mid line. Inhale and hold your power, exhale staying steady in the light of your own awareness, take your groins or your inner thighs back and apart creating inward spiral with your back leg. Keep looking at your front leg to make sure that your knees face directly over your foot and does not collapse to the inside.
Exhale, lengthen for your tail bone and descend to a 90-degree angle with your front leg. Maintain the inward spiral in your back leg. Inhale, and exhale, stay strong in the shape of the warrior, charge your leg with enthusiasm, hug to the mid line, inhale and raise up. Now turn your left leg out and your right leg inward, keep your foot facing straight ahead, draw into your center and then exhale as you lower yourself to a 90-degree angle.
The challenge here is to keep the right leg turning inward while taking the tail bone down which causes the left leg to turn outward. Make sure your left knee is directly over your left foot and breathe steadily. Find the balance in this pose and your inner thighs will become so much stronger that your outer hips will gradually begin to release their tightness. Inhale, root down to raise up, turn your feet back to face center and step together.
