In Warrior 2, where should you gaze?

• A. Gaze over your front arm
• B. Gaze at your back foot
• C. Gaze toward the sky
• D. Gaze past the front foot

Answer: (A)

In Warrior II, the gaze (drishti) is kept over the front arm—look toward the front fingertips along the line of your extended front leg. This steady point helps you maintain balance, keeps the spine aligned, and allows the neck to stay long and relaxed while you engage the legs and hips. Looking at the back foot pulls your attention away from the center of balance and can destabilize the torso. Gazing toward the sky tilts the neck and breaks alignment, and gazing past the front foot shifts focus away from the intended focal point. So, the best option is to keep your gaze over the front arm.
