Episode 145: WARRIOR 1 vs CRESCENT LUNGE: WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU TEACH & WHY?
Warrior One and Crescent Lunge (also called High Lunge) look very similar. The difference comes down almost entirely to what the back foot is doing, and that single variable changes what the ankle, knee, hip, and pelvis are able to do above it. This episode breaks down what each pose actually demands from students, who each one serves, and how to choose between them with intention.
I'll cover:
- Why The Back Foot Changes Everything
- Warrior One: Foot Placement & Hip Positioning
- Crescent Lunge: Foot Positioning and Ankle Injuries
- Crescent Lunge: Why It Teaches Hips-Forward Alignment Better
- Four Questions for Your Sequencing
