Yoga: Reclining Hero Pose (Supta Virasana)

Do Yoga With Me. http://www.doyogawithme.com/
Vira means a hero, warrior or champion; Supta is to lie down. Reclining Hero Pose is a deep stretch for the front of the thighs, lower legs and feet. It also stretches the abdominal muscles, the spine and the shoulders. Make sure that your lower back isnt too arched when holding this pose.

Could you demonstrate the more advanced posture of the Virasana

doing a toe stretch. Description, when you are sitting back on your

heels and the toes are tucked under, stretching the bottoms of the feet.

The very advanced posture is then the supta variation.

Reaching back with your hands behind you touching the floor and

still sitting on your heels with the toes rolled under,

the further you lean back the more the feet are stretched until

you eventually can lean back on your elbows.

This video is quite helpful! I especially like how you connect the Hero Pose with Downward Facing Dog. I immediately felt the benefits in my ankle,knees and back.
