Virabhadrasana I: The Saga of a Pose

There is no other pose in yoga in which my opinion has changed more. When I first started yoga, I loved this pose. I felt strong and noble and courageous. Then, as I played in it more, I began to feel I didn't know anything about the pose. I didn't know where to put my hips, my back heal, my arms. Now, I am back to loving it. I spent much of last summer playing in it, learning about where I wanted my body to be in the pose, and engaging the back body. Now it feels strong and lovely and I enjoy the personal power it brings me! I am looking forward to doing it more this month...
