Half Front Split Pose tutorial. In this yoga video I discuss half monkey god pose, ardha hanumanasana. I'll show you the alignment, benefits and common mistake people make (and how to fix it!). This pose gives a great stretch for the hamstrings and all the back body. However this can be pretty intense for beginners so I discuss variations to make this half split stretch suitable for all levels.
