In this short instructional segment, the speaker addresses students who struggle with Hanumanasana (the yoga splits). He advises against feeling inadequate when unable to achieve the pose, and instead suggests shifting focus to a meditation on the Hindu deity Hanuman, after whom the pose is named. The speaker highlights Hanuman’s qualities—perseverance, resilience, modesty, and selfless service—as virtues to cultivate through meditation. By reframing the practice from a physical spectacle to a spiritual exercise, he encourages a healthier mindset and deeper personal growth. The segment concludes with a call to follow the creator for more yoga content.

Chapters

If your yoga teacher is teaching something like Hanumanasana, the yoga splits, and there's no way in 7 lifetimes that you'll ever be able to do this pose, screw feeling bad in class. Here's what you can do instead. The yogi splits is named after the god Hanuman. Meditate on Hanuman. Focus on personal strength. He symbolizes perseverance and resilience. Despite his great powers, Hanuman is also known for his modesty. He serves without any desire for personal glory or reward. Therefore, your meditation becomes a practice that transcends the physical, which in my opinion is far more useful than being able to perform any yoga circus act. Follow for all the yoga.
