Virasana
Hero Pose By Justina Brewer

Virasana (veer-AH-sana) is one of the most basic seated yoga poses. But from this basic pose flowers so many benefits - some that would probably surprise you.
Virasana is a good pose to rest in, especially after the standing poses. Eventually this is a resting pose, not a stretching pose.
