Welcome, namaste. Today's practice is Hanuman, embody your energy. So Hanuman is the Lord of the monkeys and he is really all about the embodiment of pranav or the embodiment of your energy. And when I work with Hanuman, I like to think of this idea of vinyasa. So vinyasa means to place in a special way. And so I like to think about, I mean, how am I placing my energy in my practice? How am I placing my energy in my life? And so Hanuman is also known as the God of devotion. And so he really embodies this devotion to Sita and Ram. And so as we find our seat here together, you'll find a nice, strong, comfortable seat and you'll stack your heart over your hips and really allowing yourself to take your seat like you are Hanuman, right? And how am I going to embody my energy in my practice here today? You're welcome even to bring your hands now in front of the heart into Anjali Mudra, the Reverend Seal, and take a moment to close your eyes and set your intention for your practice here today. You're Sankalpa. How do you want to embody the energy of your practice? How do you want to place your energy in your practice here today? The mantra will be working with this morning is Sri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram. And as we chant this together, we'll imagine ourselves to be like Hanuman, chanting to Sita and Ram in this seat of devotion, fully devoted to our energy and our prana together. So when you're ready, finding a way to sit comfortably tall and we'll chant this chant together, Sri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram. And we imagine ourselves to be like Hanuman as we chant and remembering that the story of Hanuman is also a story of remembrance, right? This remembrance of his own true nature, this remembrance of who he is, his dharma. When he meets Ram, he uncovers his cities, his celestial gifts given to him. And so maybe this chant, this mantra, it's time together, we'll uncover something within you. So as we chant, you're welcome to join in whatever. Whenever you're ready, Sri Ram, Jai Jai Ram, Sri Ram, Jai Jai Ram. Again, Sri Ram, Jai Jai Ram, Sri Ram, Jai Jai Ram, Sri Ram, Jai Jai Ram. One more. Sri Ram, Jai Jai Ram, Sri Ram, Jai Jai Ram, Sri Ram, Jai Jai Ram, Sri Ram, Jai Jai Ram, Sri Ram, Jai Jai Ram. As your hands are at your heart, taking a moment to set your intention, holding that in the heart as we flow into the rest of our practice here together. And when you're ready, gently releasing your hands and opening your eyes and we'll set ourselves up for the rest of our practice time here together. If you're sitting on something, setting that to the side, and we'll begin in a square pose.

So for square pose, we cross the shins. You want your right ankle in front of your left knee, and then you want your left heel sort of underneath the right knee. And I like to think of the size as railroad tracks here and try to have the heels and the knees in the same line and really engage through the ankles and through the feet. And so as we inhale here, we'll find some length, and this might be enough engagement for you, whereas you exhale, you'll start to just walk in a little bit and fold. And since Hanuman is known as the embodiment of prana, right, the coming together of Sita and Ram, this awakened force within us, drop into your breath, so really allow the breath to lead the way.

So you'll fold in, allow the breath to guide you in, and as you inhale, you'll walk up. Let's take a twist to the right. Inhale, lengthen, exhale, just a simple twist, dropping the energy down that central channel towards the sacrum. And as you inhale, come to center, and we'll switch sides. So just stepping your left ankle in front of your right knee and setting yourself up.

So sometimes I need to adjust my hips on the floor, so you can do that, and then really find the engagement through the ankles and the lift of the heart. So the tendency is to want to slump into the low back here, see if you can find some lift. And if you need to sit on something, you're welcome to do that too. Inhale to find space and then exhale to fold. So again, the prana leads away, and in Chinese medicine, we say that the prana, the qi, it actually rides the tail of the breath, so allowing the breath to lead you into all those places that you want to uncover and discover.

Breathing here, soften through your eyes, and soften through your jaw. Hanuman means broken jaw, so really keeping the jaw nice and soft. As we inhale, we slowly rise. From here, you'll bring your feet together and your knees apart, and the hands are going to come together like a Viramudra, so the thumbs can cross and you'll point your mudra out. You'll lean onto your hips, and you're just going to lift your feet off the floor like a hovering Baddha Konasana.

So from here, I'm going to see if I can touch my fingers to my toes, and as I inhale, I'm going to lie back. As I exhale, I'm going to tap my toes. Keep going, inhale, exhale. Now if this is feeling pretty cozy for you, like no problem, right? You can add a little lay back with the arms as you inhale and exhale to tap, and I like to hook my thumbs as I lay back, exhale.

Keep going, inhale, exhale. Let's see if we get two more in. And when you lay back, really thinking of like a handstand, right, it's like this full engagement. Exhale. One more for good luck.

Exhale. Tap. Nice work. And then from here, you can cross your ankles, hug your shins, lift up out of your low back. And then we'll lie down onto our back.

Keep your knees to your chest, just come all the way onto your back. From here, the legs go towards the sky, and you'll find that same virum mudra. Keep your right foot lifted, but extend your left leg towards the floor. You can even tap the heel and then lift your foot maybe three inches or so. Point your mudra outside your right leg.

Inhale here, exhale, lift and reach. So use a breath to lift, inhale, come down, exhale, lift. So what we're going to do is switch side to side. So inhale, you'll bring that left foot up, and as you exhale, you'll reach outside your left leg. Yeah?

Inhale. Exhale. So you'll get the rhythm, inhale, exhale. And if you're really feeling the call of the core, as I like to call it, you can double time this. So you can just go side to side, and really allow the exhale through the nose to guide you or stay with that other rhythm, and we'll take one last breath there, and then go ahead and bring your knees into your chest.

Nice work. Hands to shins, knees go wide, and just rock it side to side. That's some of the psoas energy released there into the chest. And then from here, we're going to rock and roll to seated three times, so you'll rock up and cross your ankles, touch your feet, exhale, come back a couple times, just massaging the back spine. And then this last time, let's go ahead and cross our ankles, step it back to downward facing dog.

Downward facing dog, I like to walk out my feet, just take that moment to see if that heel can reach towards the mat, and then do the other side, just to allow the back half to awaken. And we'll take three waves towards plank, so see if you can find the ripple prana in the spine, inhale, spinal wave to plank, pause, high plank, exhale, downward facing dog. So looking for the ripple prana, inhale, spinal wave, the tailbone starts the action, exhale, downward facing dog, one more, inhale, ripple forward to plank, pause, exhale, downward facing dog. From here, inhale, sweep your right leg to the sky, and as you exhale, you'll flex your foot and you'll stack your hips, so really getting into this left heel, embodying the prana in the arms, so there's a big engagement in the arms, the hips stack. Inhale to lengthen, as you exhale, step your right foot between your hands, coming up for high crescent, so the back heel stays off the mat, inhale, the arms sweep to the sky.

So these are crescent dips, so we'll be dipping the knee towards the mat, doesn't have to touch down, so as you inhale, you create space, so you exhale, you'll dip your knee, three times, inhale, come up, exhale, dip, inhale, rise, exhale, tap, inhale, come up, exhale, hands to the mat, plank pose, inhale nice and strong, exhale, chaturanga, or lower slow. Up dog or cobra, you're welcome to, of course, always skip a vinyasa, exhale, downward facing dog, you can always skip a vinyasa and just head here to downward facing dog. Next inhale, left leg sweeps, as you exhale, flex the ankle, stack the hips, so again I'm really looking to engage into that right heel, lengthening through the arms, powering the arms, prana from the heart, right, so embodying our prana and just like Hanuman, inhale, lift the heel higher, exhale, step through high lunge crescent, flip between the hands, keep your back right heel lifted, arms reach up, inhale, and see if you can expand from the center that Hanuman heart, inhale, exhale, dip the right knee, two more, inhale, lift, exhale, again inhale, exhale, inhale, rise, exhale, take the hands down, vinyasa, plank pose, inhale, exhale, chaturanga, inhale, up dog, exhale, downward facing dog. So for this next sequence you might use your blocks, so go ahead grab your two blocks and you'll set your blocks on either side of your mat, and then we'll come back into downward facing dog. In your thighs back, arms are strong, next inhale, right leg sweeps to the sky, pause here, stack your hips, inhale to lengthen, exhale, step your foot between your hands for low lunge, your back knee lands, we'll keep the arms low, untuck your toes, inhale, rise up, so the arms can relax, you can even roll the shoulders back a little bit, keep the heart lifted.

At the top of the back foot is where the pranic line starts, so I'm anchoring there, lifting through the heart on my inhale, on my exhale I take my hands down, this is where you might use your blocks, we'll come onto the back knee for half Hanuman, you're welcome to tuck the toes for stability and really flex this front ankle. When people like to be high, or a little bit lower, so you can choose where you need to be, or hands to the mat, we'll take three pulses, see if you can square your hips, inhale halfway lift, exhale fold. So three pulses from the deepest part of our being, right, that place that needs to wake up and remember, one more, inhale halfway lift, exhale fold, and then inhale walk forward, walk forward, so your left hand plants, tuck left toes, lift left knee, engage this back side of the sky, support your twist, inhale take your right arm up, draw your right hip back towards the back of your mat, lengthen through the crown of the head, so your crown is reaching out, inhale, exhale, hand to the mat, so we're going to go to a side plank but modified, so we're going to set up with the left knee down, my left toes are going to tuck, and this is a place where the stability really resides in those back toes, I'll scroun my right heel, as I inhale as I support his Vashisthasana, my right hand is reaching, my low ribs are hugging in, inhale, exhale, hand to the mat, your vinyasa, or downward facing dog, step back to plank, chaturanga, inhale up dog, exhale, downward facing dog, inhale left leg sweeps, stack the hips, exhale pause, inhale to lengthen, exhale step through for low lunge, back knee to the mat, again you can rearrange your blocks if you so need, arms stay low, untucked toes, low lunge, sinking hips, lifting heart, again the line of energy it begins in my back foot, so my back, my little toe in that fourth toe are where it really begins, sinking the heart, sinking the hips, lifting the heart, take a breath, inhale, exhale, hands frame your foot, come onto your back knee, tuck your back toes, half Hanamantan, use your blocks if you need it, inhale halfway lift, exhale fold, so how do I stay connected to my prana, right through the wave of the breath, one more inhale, exhale, beautiful walk forward, inhale, right hand down, tuck right toes, lift right knee, inner thighs hug in, inhale, left arm reaches up, I'm energetically tacking this left hip back towards the back edge of my mat, breath is fluid, beautiful inhale, exhale, hand to the mat, step back to plank and we'll take the right knee down, keep your right toes tucked, ground your left heel, so I like to ground the arch in the same line as the ball of the right foot, right arm is strong, inhale, Vashisthasana, but supported style, you're here for five, maybe gazing up towards your thumb, big breath in, beautiful exhale, hand to the mat, plank pose, inhale, vinyasa, exhale, chaturanga, inhale, upward facing, exhale, downward facing, couple of breaths here, inner thighs back, body the prana and the arms and the legs, and then on your next inhale you'll lift your heels, look forward, let's take two big steps, so right foot, then left foot forward, halfway lift, inhale, exhale, fold in, if you like the top of the hand can go onto the floor, take a moment here, dingle the head, bend your knees if you need to, please, breathe, and then on our next inhale we'll slowly come up to standing, arms reach up, take a deep breath, exhale, hands to the heart, beautiful, from here you'll stand strong on your left foot, your right foot will lift, this is called Padagusthasana, you're welcome to modify here by holding the knee, the next stage is your piece fingers will hold your big toe, left hand is to the hip, if that feels good you'll extend the leg a little bit or a lot, and there's a sense of lifting up through the heart here, so breathe for one, two, now on the next inhale leg to the right, if you can you'll gaze past your left shoulder, we're here for five, four, bend the knee if you need to, but standing leg is strong, and then inhale to center, okay, from here, right hand or left hand, outer edge of right foot, bend the knee if you need to, inhale, you'll open towards the right, steady as can be, that steadiness of Hanuman, inhale, both arms go straight up, keep the leg extended, ah, for the love of it, exhale, foot down, hands to the heart, take a moment to ground, allow the breath to even out, and then when you're ready, right foot down, left foot lifting, let's do second side, again piece fingers can go to big toe, you can hold your knee if you need to, okay, and then from there extending your leg, lifting up through the heart, a sense of lift from the heart itself on the inhale, leg to the left, you'll gaze if you can towards the right, a little bit of a sense of offering in the heart here, breathe, now as I exhale I zip in towards the center, inhale bring the leg in, now if I can I'll cross the wrist, grab the outer edge of the foot and then inhale, peel myself open towards the left for two, three, arm goes low, arm sweep up, inhale extend the leg, ah, exhale, feet step together to touch, beautiful, from here we'll step the feet wide, Prasarita Padottanasana's dance, so check your toes, you want your toes in the same line, about you know ankle to wrist alignment here, arms reach out, inhale, exhale take your hands to your hips, elbows move back to keep space in the collarbones, inhale lift and lengthen, exhale fold, and then the hands can connect to the mat, inhale again halfway lift, exhale fold, so the option is to keep your hands here, you might really find a sweet engagement here, another choice would be to turn your fingertips to point back and walking your hands through the window of your legs, soften your eyes and your jaw, and then as you inhale we'll find a halfway lift once again, and this is a place where you might use one of those blocks, and we're going to place the block sort of under our face on the mat or just off the mat, my right hand is going to plant itself on top, the legs are going to stay strong, I'm actually going to inhale shift my weight quite a bit into this front arm, and then my hand can find the sacrum, so from here I'm hugging into the midline, I'm lengthening, now if you don't need your block you can have your hand on the floor, and as I inhale I find some space, as I exhale I'm going to twist towards the left, and then just like we did in that supported plank, that twist, I'm going to reach the arm up, so it's shoulder to shoulder, wrist to wrist feeling, now imagine this upper hand is on an imaginary wall, I'm going to push the imaginary wall, spin my ribs, maybe gaze up, inhale, exhale, slowly release that hand down, and then we'll switch sides, so you'll have your left hand on the block or the floor, shift quite a bit into that arm, arm is strong, hand to sacrum, inhale to lift and lengthen, exhale to twist towards the right, again there's a sense of twisting in the ribs, engaging the legs, so lying the prana to lead the way, when you're ready you'll take your right arm up, hand into your imaginary wall, and shoulder to shoulder, wrist to wrist, spin your ribs, if you let gaze to your upper thumb, exhale, hands release down, and then from here we'll find our halfway lift, inhale, exhale, you'll bend your right knee and side lunge right, and in this version we're going to keep the foot sealed down, lifting through the arch, there's a sense of lengthening from tailbone to crown of head, and the knee is just following the direction of the foot, inhale through center, exhale, side lunge left, breathing, lengthening, freeing up the prana, the pelvis, inhale, halfway lift, legs straighten, exhale, take your hands to your hips, your low belly hugs in, and as you inhale you'll come all the way up to standing, beautiful, and then we'll step to the top of the mat, hands of the heart, samasthiti, take our vinyasa, arms down, inhale, sweep it up, exhale, fold it in, forward fold, uttanasana, inhale, halfway lift, exhale, plant your hands, step or float to chaturanga, or step to down dog, inhale, up dog, exhale, downward facing dog, so just like we did in the beginning, you'll inhale, ripple forward to plank, exhale, lower to the floor, if you like use your knees, come all the way down, hands stay under the shoulders, and you can even wiggle the hips out here for a moment if you like, tops of the feet are down, we're going to take three waves that are these cobra waves, now as I inhale I'm slowly going to lift up through the heart to my degree, you're going to look towards your right heel, exhale, wave it down, inhale, spinal wave, baby cobra are a little bit bigger, look towards your left heel, exhale, wave it down, stay center on this round, so as you inhale, slowly ripple up through the heart, elbows hug in, exhale, beautiful, when you're ready push to your knees, tuck your toes, downward facing dog, we're going to take what I call twisted dog, so widen your dog stance and even walk the feet in a little bit, if you can you're going to anchor the heels down, that's available to you. From here I'm going to keep the right arm strong, and then I'm going to inhale, take the left hand either to the shin or the calf or the ankle, and I'm going to twist under my right armpit, and then inhale, plant that hand down, and then the right hand will lift and it will find somewhere on that left leg, twisted dog, low belly hugs in, so again we're just freeing the piranha, and then on this next inhale, hand releases out, and then find a regular dog stance, feet are hip distance apart, next inhale you'll sweep your right leg to the sky, big breath in, stack the hips as you exhale, straight leg, you might need to adjust your hands a little bit, but you're going to come onto the fingertips maybe of your right hand as you extend into that bottom heel, inhale, exhale, seal the hand, step your foot through, low lunge, back knee down, untuck your toes, and for this we're going to actually come up onto our back knee for a moment, you're going to grab your strap, okay, so you're going to take a strap and you want to make it into a loop, so I have my loop already made here, and you want your loop to be such that when you engage with it, it doesn't unravel on you, you're also going to take a block and set one of your blocks on the left side of your mat, so it's ready, okay, and then my strap I'm going to set to the left side of my mat as well, and just have that handy, and you'll come back into this lunge position and you'll untuck the back toes, and when you're ready you'll rise up into the low lunge, just like we did in the beginning, the arms stay low, the heart's lifted, breathing. One option is to have your left hand on the block, you can have it the highway or slightly lower and it can support you here, and then reaching back with your right hand, you'll bend your back knee, take a quad stretch, and so this is a really sweet place to be, you can hold the top of the foot.

Another option is to take that strap, so I take the loop onto the foot, so it's loop to loop, and my hand is in the loop, I'm not holding the tail, we're not holding Hanuman's tail, we're holding the loop, so foot and loop, hand and loop, and I'm going to use my block on the right side, so this is my balance pose here, so this might be enough, hand and loop, foot and loop, you can see here I'm going to pull the foot in, the elbow dips low, and if I'm feeling good here, then I might flip the elbow, and you can stay here, so I call this deep space quad, because it really gets into the quad, that power of Hanuman, you can stay there, you can reach the right arm out, plug it in, reach that back, hold the strap, big breath, and then slowly release, and then take your strap and you'll set that to the side, for later, and grab both of your blocks to have that on either side of your right foot, I'm going to go the middle way, but you might go the highway, thumbs are inside, so we're back in this lunge position, you'll tuck your back toes, inhale to lift and lengthen, and as I exhale I'm going to lift my hips and fold into a supported pyramid pose, you might need to step your back foot in a little bit, three pulses here, so inhale, halfway lift, exhale, fold, two more like that, inhale, create some space, exhale, fold in, one more inhale, halfway lift, engage the legs, exhale, fold, now as I next inhale I'll find half lift position, and we're going to head towards a revolved triangle, I'm going to set one block to the side, I'm going to step my back foot in just a little bit, find some stability, now the hand can stay on, the left hand can stay on your block, on the inside of the foot, or the outside of the foot, you might not need it, you can also place the left hand on the floor, right hand to the sacrum, shift into that front leg, you can gaze down, we start to spin open towards the right edge of your mat, take a breath here, inhale, revolve triangle, beautiful exhale, hand goes to the hip, look down, bend your front knee, left hand reaches forward, this is a place again, block, underhand if you like, inhale, shift your weight, back foot engages, hand to sacrum, lengthen, so this is revolved half moon prep, stay here or spin open to the right, lift it up for one, two, exhale, hand releases down, now from here I'm just going to lift the leg high for standing splits, you're welcome to set this block to the side, gazing towards the upper foot, now from here you can bring your big toes to touch if you like, or take what I call a hands in hot vinyasa, so I take my hands to the mat, about a foot in front of my foot, my arms stay strong, I'm just going to hop this right heel towards my hip, so it's like little hippity hops, see if you can tap in, keep that leg lifted, then take your vinyasa from there, inhale, exhale, downward facing dog, inhale, left leg sweeps, exhale, stack your hip, anchor through the heel, if you like, finger pads, find that space, that strength, inhale, leg lengthens, exhale, step through for low lunge, your back knee will land, you'll untuck your toes, then go ahead grab your block, so you can use your block and your strap once again, I'm going to set this up on the right side of my mat, and then as I come in, I might take my right hand on the block, bend my back knee, reach back with my left hand and take a quad stretch, it's such a really sweet place to be, so you can stay here, breathing, or if you're so called, I'll take the loop around the foot, and so the main thing here is again hand and loop and foot and loop, and then I'll take my block instead, outside the left foot, and this is my anchor, hand and loop, foot and loop, stay here, or dip the elbow low, pull a foot in, elbow flip, stay here, breathe, if you like, left arm forward, plug it in, reach it back, wu jai breath, elbows hug in, this is a big pose, really find your breath, and slowly release, nice work, setting your strap to the side, because we're not going to use that right now, but you'll grab your two blocks and set up for the pyramid transition, so back toes tuck, lengthen on the inhale, on your exhale, you'll step your back foot in, fold into your pyramid pose, three pulses, inhale, halfway lift, exhale, so what are you devoted to in this moment, right, in this pulse of the breath, one more, exhale, beautiful, inhale, halfway lift, I'm going to step the back foot just like a couple inches in, use one block here perhaps, so you can have your block outside the foot or inside the foot, just depending on how open you feel today for a revolved triangle, and then you can take the left hand to the sacrum, shift the weight, hug your inner thighs together like they're squeezing a piece of paper, lengthen through the crown, stay here gazing down or you'll inhale, wrap your left hip back and take your left hand to the sky, hug into the midline, inhale, exhale, hand to hip, look forward, bend the front knee, reach your right arm forward, inhale, shift your weight, back foot is strong, again this hand can seal down and then maybe you take the arm up overhead, take a deep breath, exhale, hand to the floor, hop back here a little bit, standing splits, right leg high, breathe, you can also take a hand to an ankle if that helps, okay, so from here again you can take your big toes to touch transition or right leg stays high, little handstand hops, so I'm going to keep my right leg high, take my vinyasa, exhale, downward facing dog, and then the knees find the floor, knees wide, toes together, child's pose, third eye down, breathing, settling into the breath, inhale to all fours and head back into downward facing dog, inhale, right leg sweeps to the sky, flex the foot, stack the hips, so again fingertips right hand or if you like walk the left hand in a little bit, offer your right hand on the inhale, exhale hand down, lengthen on the inhale, exhale, step through for a little lunge, back knee down, untuck your toes, inhale, arms low, low lunge, exhale, half hanuman, option here is instead of half hanuman is to go into a larger expression, so you might take two blocks for this, so you get to choose your adventure here for hanuman, you can be high and proud, some people like to say, or you can go a little bit lower if you feel like that's going to support you, if you need blocks, you can also keep your hands down and extend through the heel, untuck toes perhaps, lengthen through the heart as you inhale, and to come out of here, tuck my back toes, pull the heel in, so we are going to head towards the side plank, left hand down, you can take the modification with the knee, you can also take the full offering of ashi stasana, so I'm going to walk forward, tuck my back toes, lift my back knee, ground my left leg, now from here I'm going to lift my knee, piece fingers to big toe, extend leg if you like, full of ashi, take a breath, exhale, hand

the engagement, top of the foot, heel into the mat, and then I tuck my back toes, lift it up, draw it back, setting up for that side plank, so from here, lifting the hips, I'll take the ball of foot down just to set up, so I have my right hand down, right foot down, when I'm ready, I can grab my piece fingers to my big toe, ashi stasana, inhale, exhale, hand down, toes down, knees down, moment in child's pose, and then coming onto your belly, look forward, hands under shoulders, so we'll take a cobra wave here together, hands under shoulders, tops of feet are down, inhale, cobra, heart can face forward, relieving some of that tension, and exhale, rolling down, I'm going to reach my right arm across and come to lie down on my back, and if you have blocks nearby, you can set those to the side, both knees are going to draw into your chest, using your right hand, take both knees over to the right, you can tee out your left arm, look to the left, drop into your breath, settle down the breath, inhale through center with the knees, both knees to the left, tee out your right arm, look to the right, so now that we've awakened the prana, you can allow everything to move through the body with ease, so as we set up for our shavasana, bring your legs out to your sides, arms can go wide, you might even lift the shoulders a moment to bring the shoulder blades behind the back, and you're welcome to stay here for shavasana, or take a seat with me as we do some chanting together. Shri Ram Jai Jai Ram Shri Ram Jai Jai Ram Shri Ram Jai Jai Ram Shri Ram Jai Jai Ram If you're still resting on your back, you're welcome to bring some small motion back to your hands, to your feet, and you'll meet us eventually in your seats, and we'll bring both of our hands in front of the heart and to Anjali Mudra, and we'll take this moment to return to our intention, and how do we bring our intention off the mat into the rest of our lives? How can I move with this idea of vinyasa, how I place my energy in the rest of my life off the mat? How am I going to place my prana in a way that's in alignment with who I am? And we'll close our practice here together with an Aum, dedicating it to all beings, deep breath, inhale.

Aum. Thank you so much for showing your practice today. Thank you.
