Warrior three pose or Virabhadrasana III is a more advanced posture and requires the practitioner to have a solid foundation and balance. This is a pose that is wonderful for strengthening: ankles, legs, back, core, and shoulders. It is also a pose that if done incorrectly can cause some problems in the body, especially for the hip of the standing leg and for the lower back. For the ideal benefits of this pose make sure that your foot, knee, hip, shoulders, head and arm of the raised leg are in a straight line, and that the raised leg, toes, hip points, and fronts of the shoulder all point towards the ground.
This pose also helps with focus, concentration and invigorating the body.
Remember that keeping a body moving is an important part of keeping a body healthy!
Happy Practicing.
