Hanumanasana is an advanced seated asana that requires lots of flexibility in the hips, groin and legs -- particularly the hamstrings and quadriceps. The name comes from the name of the Hindu monkey god, Hanuman; and asana, meaning โpose.โ This asana is named as such because it represents the leap Hanuman made from the southern tip of India, as described in the epic poem, "Ramayana."
In the fullest expression of this asana, the legs are in a full split position, with one leg extended in front of the torso and the other behind the torso. The hands and arms may be placed on the ground on either side of the body, in prayer position (anjali mudra) or stretched to the sky.
Hanumanasana is also known in English as monkey pose, seated splits or splits. . ๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฌ & ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฌ: Website: https://aatmyogashala.com/ Call OR WhatsApp: +91-8445993766 E-mail: [email protected]
