Anjaneyasana

Hanuman is a central figure in the epic Rāmāyaṇa, and an important Iṣṭa-devatā in devotional worship.

[1] It is included as one of the asanas in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga's type 1 Surya Namaskar sequence.

In the full asana, the rear foot is lifted and grasped with both hands, the elbows pointing up.

[7][8] Utthana Pristhasana, Lizard pose, is a variant with the forearms on the floor.

[9] Moving the front foot on to its side so the knee comes to the ground enables a transition to a related back bend, Rajakapotasana.
