Hands up for Hanumanasana!
Pilar and Marion
We sometimes avoid the poses that we think we just can’t do, the poses that maybe our bodies weren’t “built” for. Hanumanasana is just one of those poses. Full splits are something we feel we either can or can’t do. But even the naturally unflexible have hope in this pose.
Warming up the body and the key muscles is important as is the consistency of practicing. The way to get better at hanumanasana is to do hanumanasana. Sounds simple, right? But then why do so many of us just avoid the pose altogether? Check out the following video for full split prep poses…
Take inspiration from Hanuman, the monkey god for whom the pose is named before you take this leap of faith. Hanuman leaped across an ocean in order to help a friend he loved. And so this massive leap represents the expansion of his heart, the love that allowed him to take this step. In the full version of the pose we add in the expression of the heart opening. Take a look…and give hanumanasana another chance.
Handy Handstand Wall Tricks
Adho Mukha Vrksasana (downward facing tree) is most often known to us as handstand. There are some clues for us in this image of the tree to bring us into handstand. Imagine growing strong roots down into the ground and lengthening up through the body with a strong core.
Handstand in the middle of a room can be a bit daunting. Find your footing first at the wall. Going upside down can be an empowering experience as you build strength and confidence. In order to move your Handstand away from the wall, practice engaging the core and taking the sway out of the low back. With all things yoga…practice, practice, practice.
Take a look at the video below for some tips on kicking to the wall and then building strength once you are there. Enjoy and have fun!!

Jumping Forward with Howard Daly
Are you looking for a floatier practice? Find your wings and your landing gear with this helpful video. With practice, our yoga (practice) can take flight and the seemingly difficult (or impossible) become accessible. Jumping is one of those things. With practice we stop thinking we are too heavy to lift ourselves and we find ourselves landing softly on the mat. Have some fun with this one.
