Give your quads, hamstrings and hip flexors your full attention in this practice as we move toward a deeper hanumanasana. Some poses keep your practice focused for many years especially this is one -- it has been part of new years resolutions in my yoga practice and perhaps one of the many reasons I'm still coming to the yoga mat every day.
