June 7th 2009 18:48
The Virabhadrasana poses are named after a fierce mythological Hindu warrior, which is why they are often referred to as the warrior pose. There are three popular versions of this pose. They all begin with you taking Tadasana pose.
For the first version of Virabhadrasana, you next separate your legs as wide as possible. As you inhale, raise your arms in front of you ad then up above you. Point your fingers toward the ceiling.
Twist your feet to an angle. The leading foot should be turned to 90 degrees and the following foot to 45. Retaining straight legs, as you next inhale, turn your body to the leading side. Keep your feet flat on the floor and unmoved as you do so. Take 2-3 breaths before continuing.
Next, exhale and bend your leading knee. You want to try to get your thigh parallel to the floor. Also, try to get your knee and heel aligned. Hold this position for between 3 and 12 breaths before release. Return to Tadasana and then repeat alternating from the left and right to the other as the leading side.
