virabhadrasana Definition

Vira means hero, and Bhadrasana is derived from Bhadra, which means virtuous or auspicious. Together, Virabhadrasana translates to 'Lord Hero Pose' and is an advanced standing yoga pose. In this pose, the practitioner steps one leg back, bends the front knee at a 90-degree angle, and lifts the arms to reach toward the sky, embodying strength and balance.
