Strong, Firm and Balanced. Apart from the Down Dog, the warrior is the upmost prominent Asana in yoga.

How to: Having made a big step you lean forward ankling the front leg to 90° and lift your arms creating a horizontal line on the level of your shoulders. Virabhadrasana is a great Yoga  pose reconnect with your body and the temporal and spatial situation you are. I advise to close your eyes take a deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. When doing so, you’ll realise you’re deepening into the Asana feeling the ground as your anchor. In this Asana you try to stay in as long as possible and then change the position of your feet. In this pose you work with your whole body, so it is not only very good for your back, but every part of yourself, physically and mentally.
