Virabhadrasana, or Warrior Pose, with its many variations, is a pose you are almost guaranteed to do at least once in a given yoga class. It tones the hips, thighs, calves, and ankles, and opens the chest while stretching the shoulders. In the following video I do the pose three times on each side, each time with a slightly different anatomical focus. Try to follow along and notice the different sensations in the body with each slight variation.
One of the best balance poses is Warrior III. Yoga guru Leeann Carey says that it’s also a great strength pose for the core. She has a free yoga video that shows some great prep poses for it that I thought your readers would like: http://www.planetyoga.com/yoga-blogs/free-yoga-video-warrior-iii-preparatory-poses/
