Nailing the exercise move herself by the poolside, Malaika shared in the caption, “It’s time to relax, slow down and celebrate you and your loved ones. Bask in the sun, relax by the pool, exercise every inch of your muscle and welcome new aspirations and goals (sic).”

She added, “Today’s pose is that which celebrates the strength in you- Virabhadrasana also known as Warrior Pose 2. The pose stretches your hips, groins and shoulders. Improves stability and balance, enhancing respiration and blood circulation (sic).”

Stand up with legs 4 to 5 feet apart. Place your right foot at 90 degrees angle with the toes pointing out while keeping your left foot at 45 degrees angle. Bring your hands at shoulder level and keep them parallel to ground.

Benefits:

Virabhadrasana or the Warrior Pose 2 energizes tired limbs and opens up your chest and lungs apart from stretching your hips, groins and shoulders and improving stability and balance. It also stimulates your abdominal organs.
