Anjani was the mother of the Hindu God Hanuman, who is renowned for his power, agility, and strength. This asana is part of the fourth position of Surya Namaskar and is highly beneficial for athletes.
How to Perform
Stand upright on the mat with your legs open, parallel to your shoulders. Keep your spine straight, arms at your sides, and wear a smile.
Extend your right leg forward as far as you can, ensuring your right knee and ankle are aligned, while keeping your left toes on the floor and heel raised.
Bend your left knee to touch the floor, placing both hands on your waist.
Take a deep breath and begin to stretch your right leg forward, allowing your chest to expand.
Ensure your left knee remains straight as it touches the ground. This position resembles a lunge, with one leg forward, bent at the knee and foot flat, and the other leg positioned straight behind it.
Raise your arms upward and stretch your back as far as possible.
Exhale and lower your hands, focusing on balancing your entire body.
Now, lift your left knee back up and return both legs to the starting position.
