In Reverse Warrior, how is the back hand positioned?

• A. Placed on the front thigh
• B. Back hand lightly on your back leg
• C. Raised above head
• D. Placed on the mat

Answer: (B)

In Reverse Warrior, the back hand should rest lightly on the back leg. This subtle support keeps the torso stable and the chest open, while the front side lengthens along the body for a comfortable, expansive stretch. Placing the back hand on the mat would ground the pose less effectively and could compress the side body; raising the hand overhead or letting it rest on the front thigh would disrupt the alignment and reduce the stretch.
