Practitioner in Yogic Sleep Pose lying back with legs positioned behind the head in an advanced hip-opening posture.

Yogic Sleep Pose

Yoga Nidrasana

Yogic Sleep Pose is an advanced supine leg-behind-head posture that asks for very open hips and hamstrings, plus a neck and spine that can stay easy under pressure. It is usually approached gradually rather than treated as a shape to pull yourself into.

Wild Thing

Camatkarasana

Wild Thing is a one-handed backbend with a turning action through the chest and pelvis. It asks for shoulder stability, wrist tolerance and enough control in the feet and core to keep the shape spacious rather than thrown together.

Person practising Wide-Legged Forward Fold with feet wide apart and hands on the floor.

Wide-Legged Forward Fold

Prasarita Padottanasana

Wide-Legged Forward Fold opens into the backs of the legs and the inner hips while also asking for steady feet and a clear hip hinge. It can be a useful standing fold when you want more space than a narrow stance gives.

Wide-Knee Child's Pose with knees apart, big toes together, torso resting forward and forehead supported on the floor.

Wide-Knee Child’s Pose

Balasana Variation

Wide-Knee Child's Pose is a quiet kneeling forward fold with the knees apart and the big toes usually drawing toward each other. It gives the belly and chest more room than the narrower version, so many people find it easier to breathe into the back ribs and soften the hips.

Person practising Wide-Angle Seated Forward Fold with legs apart and torso hinging forward from the hips.

Wide-Angle Seated Forward Fold

Upavistha Konasana

Wide-Angle Seated Forward Fold opens the legs into a broad straddle and adds a forward hinge from the hips. It can stretch the inner leg line and hamstrings while asking for an upright, steady spine rather than a collapsed reach.

Wheel Pose

Urdhva Dhanurasana

Wheel Pose is a strong full backbend done from the floor. It asks for shoulder opening, leg drive, spinal extension and wrist tolerance, so it usually works best after preparation and with a lower option available.

Person lying on the back with calves resting on a chair in Waterfall Pose side view.

Waterfall Pose

Viparita Karani Variation

Waterfall Pose is a simple legs-up variation done on the floor, often with the calves resting on a chair or sofa seat. It gives the legs a break, keeps the neck neutral and is usually easier to settle into than a wall-based inversion.

Side view of Warrior III with the body reaching forward and back in one long line while balancing on one leg.

Warrior III

Virabhadrasana III

Warrior III is a standing balance where the body reaches into one long line from heel to head. It asks the standing foot, hip and core to organise clearly while the back leg stays active.

Person practising Warrior II with the front knee bent, back leg straight and arms extended wide at shoulder height.

Warrior II

Virabhadrasana II

Warrior II is a wide standing pose with one knee bent, one leg straight and the arms reaching out to the sides. It builds steadiness in the legs and helps you practise keeping the chest broad without hardening the lower back.

Person practising Warrior I with front knee bent, back heel grounded and arms reaching overhead.

Warrior I

Virabhadrasana I

Warrior I is a standing lunge with the back heel grounded and the arms reaching up. It asks for steadiness through the legs while the chest lifts and the spine lengthens, and it often works best with a slightly shorter stance than people expect.
