Description

Half Splits (Ardha Hanumanasana) is a hamstring-focused stretch done from a kneeling lunge position, where the front leg is extended forward with the heel on the ground. The hamstrings and calf of the front leg experience a deep stretch, while the hips remain aligned over the back knee. The practitioner’s core and lower back muscles engage to keep the spine long and flat over the front leg, protecting the lumbar area as the hamstrings lengthen.
