Common Mistakes in Warrior Pose 2
Throw the pillow forward
You often fall forward with your knees, keep your knees and ankles in a straight line.
Do not rotate the hip joints on both sides
This causes the front knee to close inward, putting pressure on the knee ligaments, as well as the rear hip to rotate inward, making the movement less effective.
You step too far
When walking far, it will cause pain in the thigh muscles and put pressure on the front knee joint. Take the right foot distance from your body.
