Warrior one pose is the first of three related Warrior poses, that are powerful standing postures that improve strength and flexibility. The Warrior one pose may also be called by its Sanskrit name,\u00a0Virabhadrasana\u00a0A. This is one of the power poses, which are reminiscent of martial arts poses. The arms are raised upwards in this pose. It is a chest cavity opener and also increases the elasticity of the lungs. Lunges are involved in this asana, so you can expect to strengthen your hamstrings and glutes.<\/p>

The name traces its origins to Sanskrit verses, where \u2018Virabhadra\u2019 means \u2018warrior\u2019 and \u2018Asana\u2019 means \u2018pose\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>
