Anatomically Impossible? Why I Teach a Square Pelvis in Warrior 1
Update: 2025-10-02
Description
In this episode of From Pain to Possibility, I dive into one of yoga’s most debated cues: is squaring the pelvis in Warrior 1 anatomically impossible? I share why I don’t see it that way, and how the real focus should be on intent, coordination, and clarity of movement. When we shift the lens away from “possible vs. impossible,” we uncover how this pose can actually reduce pain, build stability, and retrain motor control. I also talk about why the glutes aren’t usually “weak,” but simply bypassed, and how refining coordination can make strength and stability a natural outcome rather than something you force.
