Warrior III with Support: An All Levels Iyengar Yoga Class
This challenging 75 minute standing pose class is inspired by a sequence from our friends at Yoga Selection. This class concentrates on variations of Virabhadrasana III, which is a challenging standing pose, but practicing with the wall and chair for support, makes this pose even more accessible to beginners and hopefully will inspire you to develop a relationship with this difficult pose.
