4. Ardha Hanumanasana<br />

(Half Monkey god Pose, a.k.a. Half Splits)<br />

From Low Lunge, lower your hands to either side of your right foot and shift back, straightening your<br />

right leg and flexing your right foot. Lengthen your heart forward on the inhale and fold on the<br />

exhale; if you feel your lower back rounding during this action, slide blocks underneath your palms<br />

or tent your fingertips. Move with the breath, playing with a wavelike movement of the upper body<br />

for 10 to 12 breaths. Then exhale to press back to Down Dog, and take Low Lunge and Half Splits on<br />

the left side. Finish in Down Dog.<br />
