Standing poses in yoga are beneficial for improving your posture, strengthening your legs and stretching your entire body. Standing Poses are the foundation of many poses. It is important to concentrate on your alignment in these standing poses in yoga to achieve the full benefits of the poses.
Warrior II is a very good pose for strengthening and stretching the legs, ankles, shoulders and arms. It enhances balance on both sides of the body, expands the chest, encourages deeper breathing and improves coordination and concentration. Warrior II was my yoga pose for the month of November 2009.
