Virasana Variations | Stiff Ankles & Cranky Knees| 30 min

Virasana Variations | Stiff Ankles & Cranky Knees | 30 min
Does Virasana (Hero Pose) challenge your stiff ankles and cranky knees? If yes, this Iyengar Yoga tutorial is for you!
In today's yoga practice, we explore:
▶ basic alignment principles to help keep your knees and ankles happy,
▶ what to practice before and after your Virasana, and
▶ a variety of different ways to approach this fundamental yoga pose.
The practice is by no means an exhaustive look at Virasana variations, but we'll get the creative juices flowing!
Please remember, HOW you do a pose can be a function of WHY. Engaging in this type of dialogue and unpacking hidden relationships is a beautiful way to reveal new insights and personalize your yoga practice.
Have fun exploring your Virasana ☺️🙌🌈

Do you have a favourite way of practicing Virasana? I'd love to know! I'd also love to know what you thought of this longer-format tutorial video? Do you want more videos like this one, focused around one specific pose? Please me know in the comments below 👇☺🙏.

[@vjraghavan]

Excellent video! I love how you explained all the muscular/structural components involved, how to be conscious of each of them and the various ways of isolating and stretching of them. Please make more of these videos. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 They're very helpful!

Hi Stephanie
Thank you for this. I found it really helpful. I love the way you go into so much detail. I've been doing Vinyasa yoga for a fair few years, but as I get older I'm finding I need more support and precision in my poses.
Thank you, you're amazing

[@СветланаФилатова-х9я]

Thanks!!!! Please continue with these mini workshops.

Hi Stephanie, that was great! I appreciated the two poses at the end for the ankles, and also the explanation of the four corners of the knee. The shin bone on the floor and when it starts to lift was also super helpful!
