Hanuman is a character that epic novels have been written about. There are countless stories of his devotion and his courage. In this practice we will look at his humility. Hanuman was cursed with the inability to remember his own greatness. Before each great act came doubt. In those moments, Hanuman did not run, but he also did not bound forward. He made space for pause, for surrender, for faith. In doubt lies the opportunity for humility, for breath, and then, for action.

In the first half of this practice we will courageously leap toward the top of the mat, toward handstands, toward what we believe is not yet possible. In the second half of the practice, we will settle into the doubt that arises in stillness. Expect long holds and lots of hammies and heart opening. When we choose to pause and respond, rather than to impulsively react to doubt, our leaps become leaps of faith. This practice will take your breath away and connect you to your still and mighty heart.

Wow thank you so much Christen, it s good to go into Hanuman after a good sweat! Also the concept of being courageous, but humble at the same time is so inspiring.

I love just about every Christen class I ve taken. This one was another winner. Thanks a bunch!

I thought I d share prop tip from a teacher friend of mine that made a huge difference in my approach to hanuman. (It helps in re: to this class because I only have one block!)

If you re almost to the full expression of hanuman, you can place a block or rolled-up towel under your hip. It helps me relax into the pose a little and keeps my hips square and honest. :)

Christina commented on this review

Came back to this today because I have tight hips and an angry low back. I was not disappointed. Though I had to prop a block under my hip while I did hanuman, I feel stretched out and sweaty. There were moments when I wanted to run away, haha, but I paused and stuck with it. Perfect messaging for a stressor I am facing right now too. So glad something or someone nudged me to revisit. :)

This was a challenge, no doubt, but as others have noted, Christen seems so sure we can do it that I want to prove her right. A great workout and another great practice.

I was expecting a more physically strenuous sequence given the rating of the class. Some of the poses were held for extended durations, but were more stretch poses than strength poses. Not a bad class, just not what I expected.

Great class! I love that we stayed a while in the peak pose..sometimes in classes you get to that stage and it s rushed. Well sequenced to get us to that point!

Another amazing class from Christen. Exactly what I needed at this point in my day and life. Everything in me told me to just push through a yoga with weights class but instead my fingers clicked on this. I truly love the life lessons she weaves in to her classes while making you sweat like mad!

A very transformative class. I love that Christen incorporates movement to build lots of heat and get a workout before she moves you into challenging long holds, including a very inspiring, challenging, and transformative hanumanasana. Really brings about shifts. A humbling experience. :)

Loved this class! I was surprised by the upbeat tone and welcomed Christen s playful approach.

I LOVED that there was no music attached to the class, and wish this was done more often. Great to be able to use my own mix.

This was such an AMAZING class! I loved Christen s wise words about Hanuman. I never ever thought that I would be able to hold a split for that many breaths but Christen s calming voice and sense of humor really helped me. Very relaxing and challenging at the same time. You would be doing yourself a favor by doing this class :)
