  • Intention to connect the wrists
  • extend the elbows
  • gaze at the thumbs
  • shoulders externally rotate, directing the triceps forward
  • do not throw the head back, lay it on the trapezius muscles
  • sternum up, opening the chest cage
  • lower ribs in
  • elongate the spine, do not squeeze the shoulder blades, shoulders down
  • knee of the bent front leg over the heel
  • hips closed
  • do not strain the knee of the back leg
  • extension of the torso upwards

Anjaneyasana improves the flexibility of the spine and shoulder joints, preparing the body for mastering Hanumanasana. If you experience discomfort in the knee of the back leg, it makes sense to place a folded towel underneath.
