Warrior Pose 3 requires concentration and stamina to maintain a thoughtful calibration between push and pull—gathering energy in, and extending it out. “It asks us to stand grounded on one leg, rooted down into the earth, yet at the same time to lift the other leg and stretch horizontally from the tips of our toes to our fingertips, like a radiant star expanding into space,” says. If we expand outward too much, we lose our power and balance.” Focus on contracting, pulling in, and connecting with gravity. But don’t contract too much; if you hang on too tightly, you will lose expansion—and likely your balance, too. Alternate between expansion and contraction and treat both with equal importance.
virabhadra = the name of a fierce warrior, an incarnation of Shiva, described as having a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, and a thousand feet; wielding a thousand clubs; and wearing a tiger’s skin.
