Warrior Pose Practice series


From~ A. G. Mohan, "Krishnamacharya: His Life and Teachings" (p. 156)

"The sequence that follows, centered around the warrior pose virabhadrasana) and its variations, was a favorite of Krishnamacharya’s. Incorporating a wide, open stance, and requiring coordination and balance, this classical vinyasa can be a good addition to a generic asana practice. It can be made more or less challenging, or modified by adding a lateral bend or different arm positions. It can also serve as a core standing vinyasa from which you flow into other asanas and then return."

Krishnamacharya was my teacher's teacher, and the originator of the yoga method I teach.  You can find more information and pictures at the facebook page Krishnamacharya.
