Getting a little sentimental here on ya… This pose takes me back to when I first started yoga. I originally started practicing yoga because I had killer back spasms and major lower back pain. I had heard yoga was good for back pain but I had no idea how good it was or how much healing I could receive from my practice. That’s why I am so excited to share this pose with you.

Chest openers specifically target those muscles that are limiting your ability to take a deep breath. While there are lots of chest opening poses you can do, Warrior 2 is my favorite since it is what I call a “multi targeting pose” which means that it works and targets lots of yummy areas all at once, thereby, providing LOADS of benefits!

Side body muscles. Ah the muscles that enable us to do so much that we rarely even think about… at least until we start feeling tension in them.
