How to do Warrior One

Hi I’m Dr. Melissa West Welcome to Yoga Lifestyle with Melissa

Today we have a question that comes via my website contact form: 

Today’s question comes from Marcelys from Venezuela :) 

Hello Melissa!
First of all, thank you so much for replied my message about wild thing pose. I am looking forward to see the blog post!
On this opportunity, I am writing to you because I have some problems doing Warrior I. Recently, my hips just doesn't want to point toward the bend  leg.
Probably can be a misalignment on the straight leg.
Could you please recommend me yoga classes about warrior I?
Namaste
Marcelys from Venezuela :)

Thank you for  a great question Marcelys. First of all we have a whole beginner class on Warrior One that you might like to check out:

There are probably a couple of things going on and a couple of things that I can recommend. I suspect that you are experiencing some tightness in your psoas that needs to be addressed. So today I will show you a pose that can help get to the root cause of the problem and show you a modification for the pose. 

Show lunge pose with arms up to release psoas

Show modification of Warrior One Pose with with back toes pointing straight ahead for good alignment
