DB - Sword Warrior One

With Sabina Storberg

From Drills and Basics

Sword Warrior One is one of the most fundamental and iconic postures in the WeaponUP practice—a powerful fusion of martial presence and yogic strength.

In this video, we break down:

  • Foot placement and grounding for stability and strength
  • Three distinct sword variations:

    1. Original Warrior One - Sword overhead
    2. Striking Warrior - Sword extended forward 
    3. Heart Centered Warrior - Sword at the chest

You’ll learn how each variation changes the feel and intention of the pose, and how to use your breath and body to hold the shape with both power and elegance.

This posture is a cornerstone of many WeaponUP flows—mastering it here will help you move with confidence and clarity across all series. Practice it often to refine your stance, deepen your focus, and embody the grounded grace of the Sword Warrior.
