Warrior Two Pose
Warrior two is a wide-stance lunge with front knee over ankle, back foot angled, and arms extended—training hip abduction strength and frontal-plane stability. Glutes and quads work isometrically while the torso stays vertical.

Front thigh aims toward parallel without knee collapse inward; gaze over front fingers if neck tolerates. Hold thirty to ninety seconds per side or flow with breath.
Useful for runners and lifters who neglect lateral hip work.
Common questions
-
