Warrior 1 Pose has been a source of discomfort for many yoga students due to traditional alignment cues that do not accommodate diverse body types. Common suggestions, like heel-to-heel alignment, may not work for everyone and can lead to injury when forced into an unsuitable shape. Instead of adhering rigidly to these outdated notions, practitioners are encouraged to tune in to their own bodies, make adjustments, and find positions that provide steadiness and ease during the pose. Yoga should prioritize feeling good over achieving a specific aesthetic alignment in postures.
Instead of the commonly suggested 'heel to heel' alignment, which may not work for everyone, consider placing your feet in two lanes of traffic.
