Deep Dive – Virabhadrasana I (Short Course, Level – Experienced Beginner)

A beginner level asana, but one that might take a while to master.  Virabhadrasana I is introduced as a standing asana.  It has components of forward and backward extension, and even twists.  It requires collaborative effort of arms, legs, shoulders, back and hips.  If any of these parts are not performing optimally, it shows up in the asana most commonly as strain on the knees, back or shoulders, or an overly arched back.
