Virabhadra is the “spiritual warrior,” who bravely does battle with the universal enemy, self-ignorance (avidya), the ultimate source of all our suffering.
Warrior 1 is a strong asana that is associated with the Root Chakra, connecting us to the earth. Use it to reconnect and find your footing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
