Warrior Yoga Poses

The warrior poses in yoga, called Virabhadrasana in Sanskrit, are dedicated to the warrior Virabhadra, which translates to "courageous friend." The Warrior I, II and III --- or Virabhadrasana I, II and III --- poses represent the presence of mind and body to confront our inner demons, focus on the goal and successfully accomplish the deed. The reverse warrior pose, sometimes called goddess pose, celebrates the feminine energy and the ability to flow with grace.
