The Warrior poses can easily be the most iconic standing postures in yoga; ironically the mythology behind the pose itself (aka virabhadrasana), at face value, doesn’t seem like a very “yogi type” story. The story centers around a love between two gods who’s unconditional love for one another was not met by the girl’s father. The father greatly disapproved of the man his daughter fell for...

Drishti (also known as focus or gaze) is a very common word heard in yoga. Not only will your teacher ask you to focus on a fixed point on the wall in front of you, or on spot at the front of your mat, to encourage stabilization in your balancing poses, but we are often told to practice drishti off our mat.
