Vira Bhadrasana In The Warrior Yoga Posture

Prepare the Warriors in how to gain strength

Yogic practices teach one how to gain strength through the Warrior Posture. The yogic practice takes Yogi and Yogini practitioners to strengthen the back, legs, arms, shoulders, etc, while opening the hips. The groins, chest are also opened which enhances energy and strength. Balance is achieved as well. Yogi and Yogini practitioners learn to act on the Warrior Posture allowing yoga to remove fear and achieve self-realization of inner strengths.

How Vira (Hero) Bhadrasana (Auspicious) works in the Warrior Posture:
Yogi and Yogini starts by standing yoga's Mountain Posture. Yogi and Yogini continue to exhale and steps the right foot toward the front until extending the foot one-leg length. The mighty warriors turn the left foot outward so that Yogi and Yogini toes are pointing left. Yogi and Yogini positions the hands at the top region of the hips and squares off his/her pelvis. Yogi and Yogini release the hands while hanging the arms down at the side. Yogi and Yogini inhales, and lift the arms toward the front, over the head and bends to touch the right knee at aligned angle. The knee is directly above the ankle. Yogi and Yogini thigh is balanced with the floor.

Yogi and Yogini exhales and returns to Mountain Posture. As Yogi and Yogini returns, they relax the arms while facing the palms in the same direction as the other. Yogi and Yogini continue to repeat the steps and counts three to four times while in position, and while breathing normally.

NOTE: If you have problems with the lower back, or feel stress yoga recommends that you lean your torso over the front leg slightly to release tension.

Yoga plotted a scheme to assist Yogi and Yogini practitioners in learning to master the mind and body through the process of refinement and balance. According to yogin terms, posture is the connection that stands between the body and mind. Modern editions view the posture as our temple. Furthermore, posture defines or cultivates our attitude.

Defining posture:
The posture requires stability in order to secure comfort ability. Yoga teaches us to practice good posture through meditation. Meditation helps Yogi and Yogini practitioners to keep the spin relaxed and straight while focusing on breathing. Yoga uses posture to reform attitudes. The prime reason people acquire negative attitudes is because they fail to focus on the mind and body. Rather these people allow chaos to control the mind and body, which leads to poor health.

Yoga also uses mantra (Hymns, etc) to reach meditation. Yogi and Yogini at the start will find it difficult to concentrate, thus yoga tells us to focus on specific objects, sounds, images, etc, or hymn (Mantra) while moving to meditation.


Posture = Breathing = Meditation = Attitude and concludes balance when mastered. Finding balance is the process of grounded the body and mind. Once the mind and body is, grounded yogic processes help one to find the center of their being. In addition, yogic practices move to promote solid minds and bodies, as well as flexibility. Yogi and Yogini enjoy balance, since the equilibrium teaches Yogi and Yogini who they are. As well, Yogi and Yogini learn what they want, and how to get it. In yogin terms, Yogi or Yogini must join the legs and arms, thus harmonizing them so that he/she has the horse and carriage to poise or move the body without feeling imbalance.

In yogin terms, yoga has roots, which is the Lotus Flower. The flower represents that directing to unfolding spirituality, thus reaching completeness.
