Warrior II can help increase stamina and improve posture.
Yoga Pose Alignment Needed?
This is a common error when practicing the Warrior II pose. The feet are too close together to ever attain proper extension and alignment in this asana. Even if the lunge were deeper, the knee would not be in line with the ankle.
One way to overcome this is to always check your feet width before you begin to extend into the lunge. They should always be 1.2 to 1.375 meters apart (4 to 4 1/2 feet) apart. If they’re not far enough, simple move your back foot farther away from the front foot. This will allow you to fully extend the lunge and keep your weight evenly balanced between each leg.
