In this one‑minute segment of the Warrior Series, instructor Angelica provides a concise, step‑by‑step guide to entering and exiting Virabhadrasana III (Warrior 3) using Virabhadrasana I (Warrior 1) as the entry and exit point. She begins in Warrior 1, moves the hands to heart center, turns the back foot into a runner’s lunge, steps the back foot forward while keeping the front knee bent, leans over the front leg, lifts the back leg, and straightens it. She then offers options for arm placement—either aligned with the lifted leg, at heart center, or extended forward—before smoothly returning to Warrior 1. The tone is instructional and supportive, emphasizing balance cues and the fluidity of transitions.

Welcome to the Warrior Series of One Minute Yoga Teacher Training. I'm Angelica. Today we're going to do Virabhadrasana 3. Warrior 3 can be a tricky pose because it's a balance posture. I like to come into it and out of it from Virabhadrasana 1, Warrior 1. If you haven't seen the video on that, go back and check it out. I recently realized I make 90 videos a month. So glad that you're watching them all. Thank you. Thank you for making that possible. We'll start in Virabhadrasana 1. From Virabhadrasana 1, bring your hands to the heart center, look forward, turn the back foot into a runner's lunge, slightly step that back foot forward, keeping the front knee bent, lean over the front leg, lift the back foot off of the ground as you straighten the leg. From here, you can bring your arms back to be in line with your leg You can have your hands at the heart center, or you can bring your arms forward, slowly bringing it back into Warrior 1.
