Dekasana

Asana:  Dekasana/lifted Vira III.  This is a new pose, but very like the old pose of Virabradrasana III.  Move onto one leg, lifting the other up behind as you tilt forward, parallel to floor. Keep the hips level.  In Dekasana, lift the torso up, arms back, as though in flight, instead of the flat back, and front reaching arms of Vira III. (In fact, this Pose is not mentioned in any of the classical Yoga references consulted, so you can ‘enliven’ it as your Practice wishes.)

Health Notes: Both poses are wonderful for balance, strengthening legs and abdomenNow more than ever we require balance, and strong legs to move forward, even in tiny steps.
