Performing the: A Step-by-Step Tutorial Warrior Pose I Virabhadrasana I

Step or jump your feet about 4 to 5 feet apart, and raise your arms perpendicular to the floor, parallel to each other with your palms facing inward.
Turn your right foot out 90 degrees, so your toes are pointing to the top of the mat and pivot your left foot slightly inwards, about 45 degrees.
On an exhale, bend your right knee over the right ankle, so that your shin is perpendicular to the floor, and aim to get your right thigh parallel to the floor.
Reach strongly through your arms, lifting your ribcage away from your pelvis while gazing up towards your hands, and hold this pose for 30 seconds to a minute before releasing and switching to the other side.
