Rarely a vinyasa yoga class goes by without at least one of the Virabhadrasana or Warrior postures! Named after the fierce warrior Virabhadra, these poses bring us strength, courage and focus (as well as the lovely physical benefits of stretching and strengthening the ankles, feet, legs, hips, arms and side body). In this session we will visit each of the warrior postures and harness our inner warrior; a warrior’s training is designed to make them able to overcome fear and the natural survival instinct in the face of danger. So by channelling a warrior’s dedication and self-mastery – by finding a balance of steadiness and ease - we can also turn inward and find the ability to reflect and keep our cool in the midst of opposition and find courage to face the things we find challenging and see a path of discipline and self-improvement to better serve our families and friends, our communities, and ourselves.
