A 4 Week Yoga Workshop - ANJANEYA AND HANUMAN ASANA
Anjaneya Asana and Hanuman Asanas are powerful yogic practices inspired by Lord Hanuman, embodying both gentle stability and dynamic strength.
Anjaneya Asana, named after Hanuman's mother Anjana, is a deep lunge pose that provides slow, sustained full-body stretching, opening the hip flexors, strengthening the legs, expanding the chest, and lengthening the spine while promoting balance, focus, and grounding energy.
In contrast, Hanuman Asanas (also called Hanuman Vyayam or exercises) are vigorous, dynamic movements that include jumping, squatting, arm swings, and energetic sequences designed to increase heart rate, build cardiovascular endurance, develop muscular strength, and cultivate the courage and vitality associated with Hanuman.
Together, these complementary practices offer a complete approach to fitness—the slow stretching cultivates flexibility, patience, and deep awareness, while the fast vyayam develops stamina, power, and mental fortitude, making them ideal for those seeking both calm stability and energetic transformation in their yoga practice.
