Warrior III

Your body forms a straight line from head to heel as you stand balanced on one leg. Lift your other leg back behind you and raise your arms forward to help you balance. Keep your hips level and square — they want to rotate open, but don't let them. Your standing leg stays fairly straight but not locked tight, with just a slight bend in the knee. Look down, keep your chest upright directly over your hip, and breathe steadily. Hold without letting your hip sag or your spine arch.
