Doing the front split will be more beneficial to your health than indulging in a banana split, advises Kamala Venkat
Hanumanasana, or the
Monkey Pose, is the
yogic name for the
famous front split. Hanuman,
the Monkey God, was famous
for his impressive and powerful
leaps as he was able to jump over
incredibly long distances.
Method
• Come to a kneeling
position with your thighs
perpendicular to the floor.
• Exhale and slowly try to
lower your hands onto the
mat in front of your knees.
Place your palms on the
mat and bring your right leg straight out by keeping your right heel on the mat and slowly sliding it between your hands.
• As you extend your right foot forward, slowly and simultaneously try to extend your left foot backwards. Try to extend both legs as much as possible. (Always practise within limits; do not force yourself. Regular practice will make you more flexible.)
• Keep your hips facing forward and your back straight. The toes of your left foot can be tucked under. Hold this pose for 5 to 10 breaths.
• Slowly release your legs and return to the initial kneeling position. Then relax and repeat the same steps, interchanging the leg positions.
Benefits
• Stretches and strengthens the hamstrings, quadriceps, hips, thighs, and muscles • Improves the flexibility of your legs • Tones leg muscles
Contraindications
• Hamstring, kneel, ankle, groin, or hip injuries
• Pregnancy
