Don't know if anyone sees these comments anymore, but I was finally able to hold this pose today and so proud of myself! Wanted to share with people who'd get it. Love Adriene's videos!
NEW VIDEO: Our Foundations of Yoga series continues with WARRIOR III. This episode includes a shout out to one of my favorite movies, way too much chatter about Sissy Bounce AND I wear my favorite warrior t-shirt from one of my favorite places on earth, El Cosmico. Try this fierce pose and let us know how it goes! #yoga #yogaforhealth
Adriene do you ever do yoga in a shallow body of water and use the water to help balance and use it part of the yoga moves? After i do my swimming i usually go into the wave pool at the shallow end and stretch & do basic yoga moves and it feels great, also the water can carry some body weight. by the way your awesome teacher and look very healthy.
I loved how this showed me how to keep the spine lengthened and aligned, and how to come into the pose balanced and hips in the right direction, modified and not necessarily 180 degrees. Thank you.
I love you! You have great energy, and offer many variations of each pose so that the integrity isn't compromised. I love this focus. It's not a competition with others or yourself. It is about being where we are and taking ourselves to that threshold. Practice and it comes! Thank you. Keep on doin what you’re doin girl!!
I find this pose very challenging for the leg which is holding my weight, also I have a problem with levelling my hips, not only in this pose but in warrior 1 and 2..I plan to persist because it has been a month now, since I stared watching you Adrienne and exactly the same amount of time has passed since I have started practicing yoga, and it helped centre me, and focus on what’s important in this hectic and stressful time in my life. Since I was a child I had problems with recurring pain in my legs, the pain shifts from the hip to the ankle and usually it takes resting and good night sleep or painkillers to stop hurting but recently I had an idea to practice yoga when I felt pain and only 20 min of yoga took the pain away, and I was just so focused on doing yoga that I did not feel the pain during the practice, and when I was done it was just gone, not reduced, but completely gone, like magic:)..I think the runners lunges helped a lot, I used to hate them but since you explained them so well, and how you can move in the pose and not be rigid it transformed them, now I quite enjoy them, so I want to thank you Adrienne for all the effort and love you put in your videos, thank you from my heart. (sorry for my bed use of English:), ,many hugs and kisses from Croatia!
This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing Zea! I was going to say that really focusing on pulling the hips in line while in runners lunge or low lunge will help the hips to be even or leveled in a standing or balancing pose such as Warrior III. Also, do you ever practice legs up the wall? I will do a video for that! Namaste. Love to you!
Thank you for replaying, I often just put my legs on the wall if I watch TV or when I'm talking on the phone :), it feels good, so I do it! Find what feels good, right? It would be nice to know how to practice up a wall;)...
Adriene, another great lesson. I have a problem with my balance on one leg and tend to wobble. It is more pronounced on one side. Love the practices that you offer here. Being self conscious these private sessions are perfect for me. Thank you again for all the Wisdom you share. Aloha.
Adriene thank you for the love and transforming energy which you put out there through your videos! I was trying at yoga for a few years before your videos made me see inward and really cherish the practice! Much love from London
Again, thank you. I've struggled with Warrior 3 even though I have strong legs. It's definitely not always about strong legs. It's how we get into the Asana. The Balance and placement of the feet. I'm subbing my first class on Sat. (1 hr) I've 98% finished with my 300HR certification. 200HR and Yin complete. I will definitely be teaching warrior 3 in this class as a peak pose. Until you explained the placement of the foot I was getting a little frustrated. ;)
Wow, I just figured out a way to do Warrior 3 that challenges me AND feels good. I had only seen examples with all limbs at exactly 90 or 180 degrees, and I can only do that while gasping for breath! But with a wee modification or two, I can do it and keep practicing. Yay! Thanks Adriene!
My standing leg is shaking while following you throu this video. I'm currently on 18th day of 30 day challenge, stoped by to check in with my foundations.
Well I've been doing warrior 1 and 2 for a while now, so I suddenly had the thought: There might be a warrior 3! So I just went and looked your video up. It looks pretty cool when you properly do it. And its not super bad, definetly doable after a couple of practices. I always love your energy, from your old videos to your newer videos!
Thank you so much Adriene!! Your yogi spirit is really inspiring! It makes me forgive a lot about my "non-perfection" while practice. Thank you so much for this! And I hope you will come up with a yoga sequence for strong leg:)
Hi friend! Long time no see 🤗 Doing some foundations practice with you tonight to see if I've been doing Warrior 3 correctly. So happy that thing you said about feeling like flying through the air when you practice it often. It feels just like that now, but I try to remember not to get lazy with practice and take it for granted because there were many days I couldn't do it before. Namaste 🙏
I have done it in first time , its hanuman pose and in yoga its warrior 3 it take struggle in first time but if you have no limit bro then your journey start man❤
Dear Adriene, I love your videos! I think you are a great, encouraging teacher. I have a big problem with balancing poses and perhaps you might be able to help. Even with your instruction, I have a super hard time keeping my feet from rolling in and out. I have weak arches, and possibly weak ankles as well. Not only do I wobble all over the mat, I also get really intense burning sensations in my feet and ankles. What do you recommend for strengthening these areas so that I might be able to one day manage these poses pain and wobble free? Thank you so much! Kayla (all the way up in Vancouver, Canada!)
I second this as an issue, feet become painful (burning) especially the left. Issues with inflexible ankles, whenever I squat, lunge or attempt warrior 3 my ankle bows slightly inward. Advice, exercises or small routine to help with this would be amazing.
Hey, Adriene! :) I was wondering if you could, maybe, post a full workout video suited for those who have scoliosis. My sister has it and she'd really like to do yoga with me while I do it with you. :) Thanks a bunch for this in advance and thanks even more for the way you very patiently and slowly explain ''yoga stuff'' tu us, who are pretty new to it, but would like to make it a part of our daily habit. You rock! :)
Why hello, I cannot seem to stay motivated with doing any type of work out. I love doing yoga and I'd like to be very good at it, but I always seem to talk myself out of doing anything good for myself such as eating right and working out. I tell myself I have no time. When really I have more than three hours before I have to be to work. Yes I have a baby and a home to keep clean but I still think I should be able to fit a healthy lifestyle in my daily life. Please let me know if you have any pointers. Thank you.
I feel you! You are not alone. Remember that a little goes a long way. Commit to 5 minutes of stretching or playing on your mat. Set a 5 min timer. Then in time, when you want to increase that, do. Working out should feel good and when you find that you will have a routine that you are motivated to connect to. Also, try the video Freedom Flow! And then, when you are ready, JOIN our REBOOT community! Its the best and it is great for creating a new habit. Its motivating and fun (and funny, lots of humor in the kula) too!
who else is here after struggling with thise pose in Ring Fit 😂 thank you for the video, I appreciated the in depth explanations and walking us through it
Thank you so much! I'm fairly new to yoga and I've been having such a hard time with this pose. This video has helped. Also, where you quoting A League of Their Own? I love that movie! ;)
I really like Adrienne! Lol. "Gracefully and grandly..." That's A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN. "There's no crying in baseball!" Sissy bounce!! Lololololol! ( I admit thar I had to look thar up! )
By watching this video of Warrior III I am determine to work on this pose and get to the point where I can do this. I am finding I can get almost half way with this pose and then when I work on the other side. I find a bit challenging. My question is with this pose and I guess with any other yoga pose.. Is it normal to do a pose on one side and have to work harder to do the same pose on the other side? Is this normal?
missapeterson9395, I see that no one has answered this question that you asked quite some time ago. You probably already know the answer by now. But maybe someone else is wondering the same thing, so I'm jumping in to say it is TOTALLY NORMAL. Most people have a stronger side ... or a dominant side. Several reasons for this. Some of us have imbalances, others of us have injuries, and most all of us are at least subtly asymmetrical in our bodies. Personally, I notice the differences between my two sides the most on balance poses. But even on simple yoga flows I have one side that is a rock star quick learner. It's getting straight "A"s in yoga. The other side is a slow learner. Sometimes I have to pause the video and replay for that side more than once. Its muscles aren't the greatest at paying attention! That side still has many other good qualities that can't be measured in simple terms like yoga performance, though, and I cherish its efforts.
As always a great explanatory video of yours :) What I would really appreciated is another flow video. I always enjoy your Vinyasa Flow video a lot and would love to see more like that :)
I like her energy and she obviously knows her stuff but.. did this have to be a 14minute video? I feel like 3 or 4 mins would be more than enough. I lost interest by the 6 minute point.
Don't know if anyone sees these comments anymore, but I was finally able to hold this pose today and so proud of myself! Wanted to share with people who'd get it. Love Adriene's videos!
Don't know if you're gonna read this reply but how long had you been practicing yoga before you were able to hold this pose?
I can do this too! holding it for like 30s , its easy now
Who absolutely loves the cosy corner by the window with pillows and amazing view?

I loved how this showed me how to keep the spine lengthened and aligned, and how to come into the pose balanced and hips in the right direction, modified and not necessarily 180 degrees. Thank you.
I'm absolutely in love with this nice soft sweet beautiful voice!
Thanks Adriene! So helpful!
Gracefully and grandly… A League of Their Own!
I love you! You have great energy, and offer many variations of each pose so that the integrity isn't compromised. I love this focus. It's not a competition with others or yourself. It is about being where we are and taking ourselves to that threshold. Practice and it comes! Thank you. Keep on doin what you’re doin girl!!
Thanks!
You're an inspiration, warrior lady! Thank you!
It's about being FIERCE but GRACEFUL! ..ty for explaining this Adrienne 😊❤

A League of Their Own! That was also my favorite quote when I was a young lass!
Yessss!
Thank you for explaining it so thoroughly. Again your humour is great!
Adriene thank you for the love and transforming energy which you put out there through your videos! I was trying at yoga for a few years before your videos made me see inward and really cherish the practice! Much love from London
That "resitance" tip is the ticket! First time I've heard this approach, thanks Adriene :)

Hi Adriene! I have been fancy this pose and now I can do it gracefully! so happy with my progress ! :) Love, your Yogi xoxo
I love how you break down yoga poses it is extremely helpful and appreciated!
It is nice to just slow it down and talk it out sometimes- so we can get the most out of our practice when we go to class! :) Love.
A league of their own! Love that movie
A League of Their Own!! YES!
Thank you so much Adriene!! Your yogi spirit is really inspiring! It makes me forgive a lot about my "non-perfection" while practice. Thank you so much for this! And I hope you will come up with a yoga sequence for strong leg:)

Gracefully and Grandly is from the movie A League of Their Own- the segment where all the girls went to finishing school
