The Slimnastics Workout for Warriors
Reverse (Peaceful) Warrior
Keeping the left knee bent and quad parallel to the floor, flip the right palm up toward the sky and then raise your arm up as well so that the palm now faces behind you. Lower the back right hand to gently rest on your back right thigh or allow it to float just above the leg. Enjoy the side stretch along your left ribs as you lift up through that left hand while grounding down into both feet.
Transition: Windmill the arms to frame your front foot on the mat, and step back to down dog. Either perform a vinyasa (“flow”) into plank push-up, up dog, and down dog again, or move right into Warrior I on the other side by sweeping right foot forward between the hands and lifting arms to the sky.
Repeat Warrior I, II and Reverse Warrior on the opposite side.
