Warrior 1 yoga pose / warrior 2 yoga pose - make my thighs burn

YogaTalk.org — If my leg and thighs burn in these poses I back off a bit, and am kind to myself. I come up slightly so my front leg isn't as bent - and look at my foundation. I press my feet into the mat and spread my toes, making sure the weight is evenly distributed. I keep with my breath, it's a great indicator of how I'm travelling!
