It used to be that the U.S. Congress experienced a lot of gridlock because congressional districts are jerrymandered to be overwhelmingly Republican or Democratic to protect incumbents.

Warrior 3

If you’re not using your abs to stabilize yourself in Warrior 3, you’ll likely tip over. Here’s how to find your inner warrior.
From Standing Hand to Big Toe D, swing your right leg back behind you, balancing with your torso parallel to the floor. Extend your arms straight in front of you, or if that bothers your lower back, rest your hands on your hips.
Draw your navel toward your spine and hold for five breaths.
