The referenced video demonstrates a preparatory sequence for Monkey Pose (Hanumanasana), focusing on building flexibility and strength. Here's a breakdown of how to move toward the pose, based on the reference:
-
Starting Position: Begin from a kneeling position or Downward-Facing Dog.
-
Leg Extension: Extend one leg back behind you. In the video example, it's the right leg.
-
Knee-to-Nose: As you exhale, bend the knee of the extended leg and bring it in towards your nose, engaging your core.
-
Foot Placement: Step that same foot (right foot in the example) forward towards your right thumb.
-
Fingertip Support: Come up onto your fingertips for added support and space. This allows you to adjust your hips and leg positions more easily.
This sequence is part of a preparation process for achieving Monkey Pose. The video snippet doesn't demonstrate the full pose, but it sets up the hip opening and leg positioning that are crucial to reaching the final expression of Hanumanasana. More detailed instruction would be needed for the complete asana.
