Warrior Practice

An instructor gently guides a student with dwarfism into Warrior pose, arms extended in perfect form.

At an outdoor yoga class, a young white woman with dwarfism stands in Warrior pose, with her eyes closed, both arms extended out parallel to the ground, one facing forward and one reaching back. A Black woman yoga instructor kneels behind her and gently guides her arms into the pose. The student has long, curly brown hair and is wearing a purple ribbed tank with comfortable, loose purple pants. The instructor has her black hair pulled back into a natural ponytail with dyed bangs and is wearing a black tank and maroon yoga pants. Behind them, two tall women sit on their mats in the same pose. One of the women in the background is in a modified form of the pose, kneeling. The class is in a grassy park with many large trees.
