Learn more about Stress and the toll it takes on our health.

The Warrior Within

Cyndi allen's 3 part Warrior series

A progressive journey through Warrior I, II, and III

All levels welcome as we break down and review each of these foundational postures.

WEEK 1 — Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I)

Theme: Root Into Your Power

Intention: I rise from a steady foundation.

This week we root down to rise up. Warrior I teaches us that strength begins with foundation — in the body, in the breath, and in the choices we make.

We explore grounding, stability, and the quiet power that comes from standing tall.

“Stand still like a mountain and flow like a river.”

WEEK 2 — Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II)

Theme: Presence + Discernment

Intention: I see clearly and choose wisely.

Warrior II invites us to stand in clarity — grounded in the past, focused on the present, and open to what’s ahead.

This week we explore gaze, direction, and the power of choosing where we place our energy.

“Where your attention goes, your energy flows.”

WEEK 3 — Warrior III (Virabhadrasana III)

Theme: Strength in Balance

Intention: I trust my center.

This week we explore balance — not as a perfect shape, but as a relationship with breath, focus, and inner steadiness.

Warrior III teaches us to trust our center and move with intention.

“Balance is not something you find. It’s something you create.”
