W for "Warrior pose" (Virabhadrasana)

This blog post is written as part of A to Z Challenge. This involves the challenge of a blog post on a topic starting with an alphabet on each day through the entire month of April excluding Sundays starting from A to Z. My simple posts will be themed after Yoga postures with my own creations as images.

Virabhadrasana II (Warrior pose II) strengthens and stretches the legs, ankles and feet. It stretches your hips, groins and shoulders. While it opens your chest and lungs, builds stamina and concentration. For pregnant women, helps relieve backaches and improves circulation and respiration.
