Toning muscles and strengthening bones in Virabhadrasana II

It's the perfect time to align your practice with the vibrant energy of the season. Summer invites us to embrace the outdoors, bask in the sun’s golden rays, and cultivate a sense of lightness and vitality within. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just beginning your journey, let’s dive into how you can kick off your summer with a rejuvenating yoga practice.   

Virabhadrasana II ( Warrior Pose II ) is a standing yoga pose that involves lunging. The name comes from the Sanskrit words vira, meaning courageous, warrior, or vigorous, bhadra, meaning good or auspicious, and asana, meaning pose. Warrior pose is a weight-bearing pose that strengthens bones, tones muscles, and brings resolve to overcome challenges in life!  According to many interpretations of the legend of the warrior,  Virabhadra, the overall lesson is the destruction of evil and ignorance. By remembering this intention in your practice, you embody the strength and determination of a warrior!
