sandeyeStanding Asana - Virabhadrasana 3
June 11th 2009 15:57
A third variation of the Warrior Pose - aka Virabhadra 3 - follows. The first step is to take up the Tadasana pose. From here, raise both arms straight above your head, with palms facing. The next two moves require you to focus on retaining a straight line along your extended arms, spine and the raised leg.
Firstly, keeping it straight behind you, extend your left leg behind you, with the toe just touching the floor. Then tilt forward, raising the left leg directly and straight behind you. Your arms remain extended and now form a 90-degree angle with the right leg.
You should now be balancing upon the straight right leg, with the rest of your body at a right angle, parallel to the floor. To perfect the pose, remain in this potion for several breaths and focus on elongating the spine and remaining straight. You then return to Tadasana and repeat the pose, alternating the left and right leg.
