Hybrid postures like this eagle arm warrior 3 allow us to double up on stretching and strengthening by combining the benefits of two poses into one! If you find it challenging to bind your arms, simply hold onto opposite shoulders instead, or feel free to express a classic warrior 3.
Warrior 3 Variations:
- Classic Warrior 3: From standing, inhale and reach arms up overhead. Exhale, hinge forward from the hips, keep biceps in line with ears as you extend the right leg and foot towards the wall/horizon behind you. Keep hips level, and try to create a capital T shape with your body.
- Eagle Arm Warrior 3: From standing, inhale and extend your arms out like airplane wings. Exhale, wrap right bicep beneath left, forearms around each other, and bring palms to touch. Inhale to prepare, then exhale and hinge forward from the hips, keep biceps in line with ears as you extend the right leg and foot towards the wall/horizon behind you. Hold for five breaths.
