Hero Pose

About This Class

Bryan Kest guides a brief, approachable tutorial on Virasana (Hero Pose) with a focus on safety and individual comfort. Starting from a hands-and-knees position, students gradually lower their hips toward the floor between their feet, adjusting knee width and using hands or a block to manage intensity. Bryan emphasizes proper foot alignment — ankles in, not turned out — to protect the knees, and encourages a tall, open-shouldered seat with mindful breathing. The pose delivers a gentle stretch across the entire front of the lower body, including the quads, hips, ankles, and tops of the feet, making it ideal for those seeking a mild, grounding lower-body opener.
