Hanumanasana

Advanced Poses / By Ashtanga Yoga Paris
Hanuman is the name of the one of the Indian Deities.  He is the monkey god and the most faithful devotee of Rama so he leapt from India to Sri Lanka to save Rama’s wife, Sita.  
In the pose we are imitating this long leap by going into the splits 🙂  
Take your time, this may not come overnight.
