In this one‑minute instructional clip, the teacher introduces a focused segment of a 200‑hour online yoga teacher training that centers on Virabhadrasana III (Warrior III).

The speaker also references a longer video about the warrior’s story and promotes enrollment in the full online teacher training program.
