Hanumanasana

Hanumanasana, also known as Monkey Pose, is a yoga pose named after the monkey god Hanuman from Hindu mythology. It is an advanced pose that requires a lot of flexibility in the hips, legs and groin.

To do Hanumanasana, you start by standing with one foot in front and the other behind you. You then take a big step forward with your front foot and put your hands on the ground on either side of your front foot. Slowly lean forward and straighten both legs, stretching your back leg behind you as far as you can.

To achieve this pose, you need to stretch your thighs and hips by doing exercises like lunges and stretches. It is important to take it slow and not push yourself too hard, as injury can occur if you try to force the pose.

Hanumanasana can be beneficial for increasing flexibility in the hips and legs, and for improving overall balance and coordination. It can also help to relieve stress and tension in the body.

Overall, Hanumanasana is a challenging but rewarding pose that requires dedication, patience and practice to achieve.
