I tell my students to use the glute to lift the leg while flexing the foot. It really helps with lift and stability of the pose. |

To Katie, Engage your quads and hamstrings. Don't collapse into your joints, lift up and out, while rooting down with standing leg. |

I can finally do this pose. I can't hold it for long but I"m getting there :). |

Any tips to keep my standing leg from locking in this pose? |

In response to Jay: I agree that the written instructions are no substitute for a living breathing teacher who can talk you through each pose, however, as a teacher I find that Yoga Journal is an invaluable resource. When I need to be reminded on how to break down a pose for a beginner class, I come to these articles. When I'm running short on ideas and inspiration, I come to these articles. There is no detail left out and I'm able to take from it what I need and leave the rest. |

I used to struggle with the warrior pose when I first started out with Yoga. I've been practicing for about 6 years now. My CORE is a lot stronger and so is my FOCUS and CONCENTRATION. Yoga is all a process though, I still have my moments when I wabble and fall out of a pose, which means I can just pick myself back up and come back into it... The breath is very important, it calms the nervous system and helps get CONNECTED with the SELF. I LOVE it whenever my Yoga instructor says, "Ok, let's going into a BALANCING pose!" Fun times, fun times... God Bless<><3<> |

I hate the way you describe the poses. They're exact in the sense that it's impossible to be flexible. There's no energy flow in the way you describe all these poses. There's so much more to yoga than breathing in for 30 seconds to a minute. The Yoga Journal is a failure. |

Practicing a good while but this warrior lll kicks my butt everytime too, and I keep coming back! It's the balance thing. |

Practicing with a chair or table to place your hands on helps to keep your hips aligned. |

I've been doing yoga for about 7 months and this Warrior 3 kicks my butt every time! I'm gonna give it a shot with these new tips. |
