Virabhadrasana I is a foundational standing asana. When its first taught, it strengthens the legs, and extends the arms and shoulders.
When we re-visit virabhadrasana I later in our learning path, we can realise that it has embedded in it elements of twisting action, back arching, and even forward extension. In this session, we explore how twists and back arches make the standing richer.
Note:
women during the days of menstruation are advised to avoid abdominal actions, and strong twisting actions
