And see if you can kind of bring awareness to this back thigh, lifting from the back thigh.

So, we hoist our body up. We throw our body around all day long.

In Yoga, we get a chance to really work with integrity.

So, consider that here in this balancing posture, so don't rush it.

Charging that back thigh or bring awareness there, so we're not just lifting from the foot, but we're keeping the hips level.

So, maybe dropping that left hip here. Chest is open, supportive in the center.

We can stay here, gaze is strong, or we can reach the fingertips forward.

Take a deep breath in, feel it out, then slowly we'll bring the back foot down, come back to Warrior One, and release the arms.

Rock on. Okay. We're going to try one more time, this time with a little variation.

And this is my favorite way to teach Warrior Three.

I just think it's really great in terms of finding that opposition that's essentially going to support.

So here we go again. Hands come to the waistline, soft bend in the knee, awareness in that front foot.

Step the foot in if you haven't already; find a nice little bounce here.

It's like, what's that, sissy bounce?

Lord! We can't have that on the show, not today anyway, but I'm a fan.

I wish I could move like those sissy bouncers, man, maybe someday.

Okay. Warrior Three, soft bend in the knee, inhale in,

on a swift exhale take that buoyant energy, that buoyant quality, and press away.

Now, press is actually the perfect word for this next variation.

I'm going to level the hips, draw my navel in, keep that extension through the crown.

Again, don't worry about being in the perfect shape for now, just worry ...

In fact, I can impress you with my Warrior Three, but I don't want to.

I want us to kind of find that integrity as we slowly build up to a nice, strong, and supportive Virabhadrasana Three.

So, this time I'm going to send my fingertips back.

It's funny; I'm on a creaky wood now, creaky plank.

Soft bend in the knee, now think about that back inner thigh. All right?

Now this time, imagine you're pressing the palms into the earth.

So, in fact, imagine that the earth came up here, and in class I would come and maybe give you a little resistance.

So, imagine that you're pressing away, so just like we do in our twist when we find kind of a little resistance there.

See if you can find a little resistance here, and again, you can do this without even lifting that back toe.

So, if you're a super beginner, then you want to give it a try anyway,

so I go from here to pressing away, really finding that lift and lengthen, that marriage of strength, but also length and grace.

Might be here, might be here.

Again, I'm pressing into imaginary floor here kind of like Superman.

Once you have your resistance here, you might begin to slowly come to here and we breathe. Breathe.

I can't believe I'm on this crickety piece of wood. Perfect.

One more breath, and then we softly bend that front knee, step it back to Warrior One, take a deep breath in, and exhale.

Tadasana. All right. Let's try the other side. Same thing.

We're going to break it on down, starting with our runner's lunge.

This time, the left foot's forward, of course.

Right foot back; take a second to just get into it. Breathe. Breathe with me now.

Okay. Plant the back foot. Again, for today, rather than ...

Well, for today, I encourage you, I invite you, to tuck the tailbone and roll it up.

This one reminds me that I'm kind of anchoring through the feet, drawing energy up through the arches,

and connecting to my center of gravity, which is obviously so necessary for this Warrior Three,

and just so good for the back and the whole body.

So take a second here to just check in.

Again, if you want to reach the fingertips up to your Warrior One, shine on, babes, shine on.

And then we'll bring the fingertips to the waistline, soft bend in the knees here, I lift the back heel up, and step it in halfway.

I'm going to come to the center of my mat again.

Soft bend here, bring your awareness around to that front foot just like we did before.

So we're going to have this woo thing.

See if you can spread awareness through all four corners of the feet, press down, and then find places to lift up.

Now here we go again, the sissy bounce. Just kidding, not that.

Everyone's going to be Googling sissy bounce if they don't know already, and they'll be like, "Oh, my God!"

It's pretty cool. Okay. Soft bend, we find a buoyancy.

Let's grab a Drishti, a little focus, something to set our gaze on in front, and then we might lift that back leg up.
