Triangle/Warrior II Vinyasa

Triangle/Warrior II Vinyasa

This vinyasa flows through four poses: Mountain (Tadasana), Triangle (Tikonasana), Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II) and standing Yoga Mudra. To help synchronize the breath with each movement, a suggested breath rhythm is included. As an experiment, try the vinyasa two ways. First, move from one position to the next on the beat of the breath as indicated below. Then move through it again, but this time hold each of the four main postures for several breaths. Notice how each version affects you differently.
