How to master Hanumansana (Splits) on the yoga wheel

Hanuman is one of the most beloved figures in the Hindu pantheon of gods. This pose then, in which the legs are split forward and back, mimics Hanuman's famous leap from the southern tip of India to the island of Sri Lanka. Practice this pose on a bare floor or on a sticky mat with folded blankets under the back knee if needed and the heel on top of the wheel. Please make sure you always consult a doctor before starting a new exercise or fitness regime.
