Virabhadrasana III Variations – Weekly Advanced Class 399

This 20-minute tutorial style class offers a focused exploration of Virabhadrasana III (Warrior 3), using rotation and support to deepen your understanding of the pose’s key actions. By shifting the orientation of the body, the class highlights different muscular engagements – bringing more weight into the arms to reveal the connection between the chest, shoulders, and arms, or into the legs to isolate the role of the back leg in generating lift and stability. Rather than addressing the balance aspect of the pose, this sequence uses props and support to enhance muscular activation and leverage, allowing you to access and refine the pose’s core principles with greater precision. This class will clarify alignment, build upper body and core strength, improve shoulder mobility, and increase hamstring flexibility.
