MAN ON THE MAT: WITH ADAM WHITING
Benefits
Warrior 3, and other poses that str engthen the posterior chain (muscles running along the back of the body) are endlessly important in the practice of asana. In an age where we have the tendency to be over concerned with extreme ranges of flex ibility and mor e flashy postur es, we must include poses like Warrior 3 that focuses on strength and stability. When done correctly, this intense balancing posture will wake up the erectors and paraspinal muscles running parallel with the spine, which will protect the vertebra and intervertebral discs. In addition to this, the lifted leg will ignite the fibres of the lower glute max and hamstrings which wil lwake up the muscles around the sacroiliac joint, an area that is a common trouble spot for so many yogis.
