In this practice, we'll draw inspiration from the mythic monkey god, Hanuman, who is a remembrance of courage, devotion and dedication, always willing to serve the greater good with Love.
The sequence will focus on hip-opening poses, creative flows of standing poses and culminate in Hanumansana - the full split pose. You'll be turned upside down a few times in Handstand and forearm balance - with fun variations. You'll also practice Abhya Mudra - the seal of no fear mudra that helps you to overcome doubts about your own abilities when facing a task, you think you cannot do.
