To do the Double Warrior One, stand facing each other about four feet away. Reach behind your back and clasp each other’s wrists together. Lean your upper body forward and press your feet into the ground to create a stable base. Push your hips back and up, and hold for five deep breaths.

High Five Reverse Warrior

To do the High Five Reverse Warrior, stand facing each other with your feet hip width apart. Reach above your head and clasp your hands together to make a “high five” position. Push your hips back and bend your knees until you feel a slight stretch in the back of your legs. Keep the high five position and make sure your joints are aligned and stable. Hold for five breaths and release.
