Warrior II on the Ball


Warrior II is a deceptive yoga pose. It looks easy but requires strength, balance and flexibility to get into proper position. A ball can add support to this move, allowing you to go deeper into the stretch and focus on your alignment.



  1. Sit a bit forward on the ball and take the right leg out to the side, foot pointed forward and flat on the floor. Your knee should be straight.
  2. Bend the left knee so that it is pointed to the side with the hips square to the front of the room.
  3. Sweep the arms up on an inhale, taking them straight out to the sides and parallel to the floor.
  4. Hold the pose as you stretch the front fingers and back fingers away from each other.
  5. Hold for 3 to 5 breaths and repeat on the other side.
