What is Hanumanasana
Hanumanasana is derived its name from the Sanskrit word Hanuman. Hanuman symbolizes a divine entity who is known for Bhakti. It is also known as Monkey pose where the god of Hindu mythology stretched his legs forward and backward from the southern tip of India to the island of Sri Lanka. It is pronounced as hah-new-mahn-AHS-anna. The yoga pose doesn’t find its description in Hathayoga. However, it has been narrated by BKS Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and Swami Satyananda Sarswati.
