About this listen
Have you ever paused to wonder about the story behind Virabhadrasana, or Warrior Pose? It’s one of the most iconic shapes we teach and practice, yet so few know the mythological roots that give it true meaning. In this episode, I share the epic story of love, rage, devotion, and transformation that birthed this powerful pose. This tale is one I’ve wanted to tell for a long time, and I hope it brings fresh depth to your practice and teaching.
Episode Highlights:
- The background behind creating more story-based yoga episodes
- Introducing Virabhadrasana (Warrior Pose) through the myth of Shiva and Sati
- Exploring Virabhadra as a manifestation of rage, devotion, and sacred purpose
- A dramatic retelling of the story from Shiva’s grief to the rise of the warrior
- How each of the three warrior poses maps onto the narrative
- Why understanding the myth enriches how we teach and embody the pose
- An invitation to bring this myth into classes, workshops, and training spaces
- A call for listener feedback to inspire future myth-based yoga episodes
