Strengthen your Warrior III

I have been sent a few emails with questions regarding building strength for yoga.  To increase balance and strengthen the back body, in between yoga classes I practice a mix of weights and yoga.  Here is one of my moves.....

1. On a core board with two light hand weights I move into Warrior III (see above).

2. Extend arms out to the side rather than overhead (like you're flying).

3. Bend the grounded leg only and bring the weights towards the ground then extend back to the original position.   

Note: Be concious of keeping your hips level.

** Let me know if this doesn't make sense and I'll add a photo.
