Mini vinyasa krama to warrior 1 pose

Very nice tutorial. Great for beginners and seasoned practitioners, like myself, to return to these basics at times.

Always appreciate your exquisite attention to the fine points, Marlene! Thanks for this helpful tutorial. xo

Thanks a lot for these clear and detailed instructions esp.for the hints of the subtle twist and the backbend coming from the mid upper back. I practice Yoga for about 4 years and although the shape of the pose looked o.k I always had the feeling that something is wrong the way I am doing it. Now I just did your class and the warrior I finally, finally feels right and comfortable for me now!!. . Once again thank you for this perfect tutorial.It would be great if you could do also one for warrior II. Namaste!

Excellent class. Detailed technical explanation cleared up several unresolved issues in my Virabhadrasana I. I need to remember to point the hip of the front leg in the direction of the back heel and roll the upper thigh muscle of the back leg inwards. Very useful tip, indeed. Thanks so much, Marlene.

This discriptions help really a lot. Thank you

Marlene, I'm loving your krama classes. I especially liked your explanation about the hip in this one. I hope there will be more krama videos.

Thank you Marlene, really enjoyed the detailed guidance and opportunity to feel the alignment in detail plus the slight twist in Warrior 1. Grateful for your class. Namaste.

Thank you for instruction! I needed it really, as I always pushed myself to be in alignment with mat and I didn't feel well in the pose. Hope there will be more step by step classes. Namaste!

Hi Marlene, This is a great class to improve not only warrior I but also downward dog. My left knee is not that strong so I can't hold the warrior pose that long on that side, so, whole on the pose, I straighten it a for a few seconds and go back into it. I am wondering if you have a comment about this. Thank you greatly for all the careful details, very nice. Thank you. Martha

Thank you, this was great :)

I really enjoy your vinyasa krama classes, Marlene! Hope to see some arme balancing/inversion kramas one day, as I'm really interested in your approach towards bakasana, flying crow, handstand etc.

Lovely lovely lovely ¡¡¡¡ I really welcomed this explanation of how to align the hips with the front of the mat in warrior 1 .... thanks a lot for clarifying this posture and I am looking forward warrior 2 ¡¡¡¡¡¡

you too, lovely yogis, keep up the good work here:-)

Wow. I really appreciated that clarification of Warrior I and it was a nice mini-practice on the night of a full moon/ lunar eclipse. You are a very beautiful soul, Marlene.

Wonderful lesson, Marlene! Looking forward to your next vinyasa krama!

Always a pleasure watching your videos, Marlene. Very clear explanation and I finally can do the warrior pose without pain on my back after your instructions. Thanks a lot and keep making more videos :)

Marlene, thank you so much for your mini vinyasa series. This one in particular has been very helpful for me as I struggle to do warrior 1 on my more inflexible side.

I loved this class; not only for the practice but for all of your excellent instructions for making the poses build to Virabhadrasana. I always enjoy your final tutorials in these krama classes; you always provide some hints that resonate for me. I look forward to more. Namaste!

Keep up the great work. Thank you.

Marlene. Your teaching carries a lot of inspiration. Thank You & God bless!

Marlene, I too loved your explanation on the hip here. Thank you for another wonderful Krama Class. :)

Just agreeing with comments above, very informative! I often wondered if I was doing this right and now I understand much better what my body should be doing. thank you. This website has been a blessing! I am a dance teacher and recommend it to all my students.

Very nice. Appreciated the precise description and feel that it helped me into a more comfortable Warrior.

Thank you Marlene! This is the first time in a long time that I felt 'the burn' in my thighs doing Warrior One. Taking the time to get the alignment right really got the heat going :) Thanks and Namaste!

I love your karma classes and the details are really helpful as I can't 'see' the shape I'm making. These extra details as Elisabeth mentioned the subtle twist, hip moving back and backbend from mid back really help me to 'feel the body' producing a much better pose. Fantastic! Looking forward to more karma classes. Thanks Marlene.

This was great. No matter how long a person does yoga there is always room for refinement. Looking forward to the next krama.

I couldn't ask for better instruction. If felt , warrior I, even better and even more grounded after this instruction. I'm grateful for your presence Marlena! Peace to you!

This is the first time I have been comfortable in this pose! Thank you...that little twist makes a difference!

Crazy as it may be, this pose is hard for me.Thank you for explaining this so well. It became so much better today! Thank you!

Thanks for your explanation, it was really helpful, please share other classes with us soon! also a little bit longer, it would be fine, I just love your way to teach. Gael.

Really love your instructions. As a 50+ newbie to yoga, your style of teaching really fills me with confidence, which helps me to make steady progress. Many thanks.

This was very helpful! Thanks!

Beautiful instructions! These tips are so appreciated they make all the difference. Thank you

Thank you for a wonderful explanation. I've been doing this month's Warrior program and kept having pains in my hip flexors, as if I'd overextended them. Now I realize that I was torquing my hips instead of rotating my leg to "square my hips"! Thank you for making this class, Marlene! Daniella

Thank you Marlene for your clear explination of this pose. This really helps a lot. Namasté

I loved the fine-tuneing tips for Warrior I. Thank you Marlene!!

This was my first time taking a Krama class. I enjoyed the step by step process of building up to the pose. The details that you provided were very on point. Thank you.

The hip alignment clarification and the noting the small twist that happens in Warrior I was very helpful!

The subtle rib cage rotation made all the difference. Before, the knee on the straight leg was starting to hurt, and after, I began to feel a nice stretch in the calf muscle instead. This worked on both sides! I'm always happy to exchange pain for ease -- thank you Marlene.

Useful tips, thank you!

This was very helpful, thank you Marlene.

I love your videos,. I love how you take the time to explain alignment and proper transitions. Thank you so much, you are helping my practice improve. Namaste.

nice class, but very talkative. i understand that it is necessary to do well the asana...but few minutes in silence will be great...i'm very talkative myself, that why i need SILENCE, hihi...regards

Worked,! Nice to know these little but so important details. One month with Ekhart yoga and I've learned so much already! Thank you

I love this warrior. Thanks for such a graceful flow!

VERY helpful. have been doing this pose forever, but see that I can improve my posture with your tips. GRACIAS

Downdog is one of my favorite poses. The tutorial for transition from downdog to Warrior 1 was great! I like the details about proper alignment, especially as I approach the age of 60 in a couple of weeks! Thank you
