These are my five favorite (slightly less conventional) preparations for splits (Hanumanasana). In addition to opening up your body, each of these postures helps teach a technical element of the splits.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/yogaland.

working your way toward traditional splits (Hanumanasana) isn't easy...but can be approached in a way that leaves you stronger and more flexible, whether or not you ever get to the ground. on the way, there's lots of hip opening, hamstring strength, and heart opening to be had for every body!
In the book Myths of the Asanas**, which details the stories behind the names of yoga's poses, Alanna Kaivalya and Arjuna van der Kooij tell the tale of the monkey god Hanuman, who inspired the iconic forward-splitting yoga pose: “Hanuman's journey, as recounted in the Ramayama (the epic tale of Rama), is one of faith, fearlessness, and complete devotion. Hanuman is said to embody all of the qualities of the yogi, and his story reflects our own in many ways. How many times have we forgotten our own divinity only to fall back into the same self-defeating way of thinking over and over? Who hasn't had a crisis of faith and wondered if some burden wasn't too great to bear, or whether some task wasn't impossible to complete? Hanuman teaches us that there is one thing that allows us to override all of our doubts and fears. That one thing is love.” (p.75) In this episode--40!--we're leaping into the benefits of a stretching practice for body and mind. In the blog, I'll include many more resources for preparing to stretch and going deeper with the practice, so stay tuned for that! “As he flew over the ocean toward his destiny, one of Hanuman's feet reached forward and one foot reached back, like the famous split pose, hanumanasana, that yogis know today. Despite encountering numerous obstacles, including a demon that rose from the water to try to gobble him up, Hanuman landed confidently on the island of Lanka.” (Myths of the Asanas** p.73) Listen in to the podcast for more details of how to get into the stretch, and the potential benefits, physical and mental, of releasing the deep muscles of the iliopsoas. As you breathe into the stretching shapes like those of Hanumanasana or the splits, consider how you have already overcome fear and resistance to the practice, regardless of what your shape may look like from the outside. Be gentle and patient with yourself, and remember that, “We easily forget that there is a part of us that is also divine and can accomplish the impossible.” (Myths of the Asanas** p.72) Maybe we think accomplishing the splits, or some other advanced yoga or dance position is impossible now, but consider what a steady practice combined with faith in yourself might do.

Sometimes I question the merits of Yoga Journal Magazine. There are good ideas and inspirational sentiments to be found in this publication but it's difficult to separate from the not always so subtle inclination of effective advertising to exploit low self-esteem. Magazines depicting idealized notions of beauty that make us feel worse about ourselves is nothing new but, in the context of yoga, feels inappropriate…
two blocks will be helpful for this dynamic heart opening Hanuman inspired vinyasa flow. for the celebration of Hanuman Jayanti we chanted: Jaya Sita Ram Jaya Jay Hanuman Hare Rama Rama Ram Sita Rama Rama Ram and practiced… Hanumanasana.
This is not the same splits you’ll find in dance or cheerleading! Listen! I include common modifications and variations you’re probably already doing! Even though in the full expression this pose is extremely advanced and possibly not attainable, ever. There are some great modifications and variations you’re probably already doing! Half-Split is very popular, I call it “Runner’s Stretch” an intense hamstring stretch. The “full” variation with blocks can be a great hip flexor opener, and even splits up the wall feels good for most yoga practitioners. The Sanskrit name for this pose, "Hanumanasana" (HAH-new-mahn-AHS-uh-nuh), is named after the Hindu monkey god, Hanuman. In an ancient story, Hanuman took one giant leap all the way from India to Sri Lanka, and then one more leap to return to India. Hanumanasana mimics his leap! By practicing the pose on each side, you become like Hanuman, soaring to a new country and returning home. Enjoy & incorporate it into your personal practice! NAMASTE! You might

When we choose to soften and listen in our life, we begin to open up to a deeper place within ourselves that is powerful on its own without pushing it in any direction by paying close attention we flow into be-ing. Giving ourselves permission to connect to our inner voice and surroundings takes passive action - it's softer, more sensitive. This may be scary for some of us to allow the world to come to us but actually it takes us into parts of ourselves that may not be readily attuned. We all have this ability but it takes practice to see and be who we are. We have the freedom to ignore everything but if we take he time to soften, light a candle, say a prayer creating a sacred place we will uncover this grand energy that is closer to you than your breath. Before you do you do your practice, I invite you to check in to see if you have the tendency to just push through and not listen to your body and perhaps you can deepen your awareness by creating a space to let the world come to you and receive.
