Скачать или смотреть Creating Resistance in Virabhadrasana II

"The belt stabilizes the front knee and helps to release the front buttock down while transferring the body weight to the back leg, thus making the pose less strenuous. It helps to move the head of the femur (thigh bone) into its socket. The belt also activates the back leg which should provide resistance." - Eyal Shifroni, Props for Yoga
