Viparita Virabhadrasana The name comes from the Sanskrit words Viparita = reverse or inverted, Virabhadra = the name of the warrior created by Lord Shiva (as per Hindu Mythology), and Asana = posture. In addition to strengthening the body like a warrior, this pose promotes mental focus and energizes the mind and body. Some benefits : Opens the chest and side body, releasing tension in the intercostal muscles around the ribs and allowing for a freer deeper breath. Strengthens the legs. Helps with mobility in the hips and stretches the inner thighs. #yogainspiration #asana #virabhadrasana #yogainternational #mindfulness #portugal
