Virabhadrasana I or Warrior Pose I. Virabhadrasana (Sanskrit: वीरभद्रासन; IAST: Vīrabhadrāsana) or Warrior Pose is a group of related lunging standing asanas in modern yoga as exercise commemorating the exploits of a mythical warrior, Virabhadra.
A single asana is listed for each main pose, whether or not there are variations. Thus for Sirsasana (Yoga headstand), only one pose is illustrated, although the pose can be varied by moving the legs apart sideways or front-and-back, by lowering one leg to the floor, by folding the legs into lotus posture, by turning the hips to one side, by placing the hands differently on the ground, and so on.
Virasana (Sanskrit: वीरासन; IAST: vīrāsana) or Hero Pose [1] is a kneeling asana in modern yoga as exercise. Medieval hatha yoga texts describe a cross-legged meditation asana under the same name.
Viparita Virabhadrasana (Reversed Warrior Pose) is still more recent, and may have been created after 2000. [69] Several poses that are now commonly practised, such as Dog Pose and standing asanas including Trikonasana (triangle pose), first appeared in the 20th century, [ 70 ] as did the sequence of asanas, Surya Namaskar (Salute to the Sun).
One difficulty is naming; the existence of a medieval pose with the name of a current standing pose is not proof that the two are the same, as the names given to poses may change, and the same name may be used for different poses. For example, the name Garudasana, Eagle Pose, is used for a sitting pose in the Gheraṇḍa Saṃhitā, 2.37. [4]

Modern yoga includes several lunge-related asanas such as the Virabhadrasana warrior poses I and II, and others whose names vary in different yoga traditions. [6] Examples of Sanskrit names include Anjaneyasana ( Anjaneya 's pose), [ 7 ] Ashwa Sanchalanasana (equestrian pose), [ 8 ] and Ardha Mandalasana (half circle pose). [ 9 ]
The males know this and even strike poses to show off their muscles to the females. Even when lounging in the grass you can spot a male kangaroo lounging in a way that highlights his strong muscles.
