Yoga positions

Vira-asana - The Hero Pose
The Sanskrit word vira means hero, brave or eminent man, or warrior.
At first sight this asana seems simple. Nevertheless, within the first years of practice this traditional position sitting is given to much hardly. Pupils complain of sensation of burning in hips, a pain in knees and anklebones.
To scorn Vira-asana does not follow, even if it seems to you, that it brings one crucifyings. Though its effect is swept up not at once, the Hero pose is very useful. In Vira-asana we improve mobility of knees and anklebones, and also we study to turn hips inside. The pose reduces pressure in feet, improves digestion and relieves of unpleasant sensations in a stomach. Besides, Vira-asana - one of traditional positions for meditations. If it is carried out correctly, it is possible to abide in it some minutes, observing for the internal sensations. In other words, this asana develops sensibleness which is a corner stone of all practice of yoga.
