Hanuman: a monkey hero faced trials and demands he thought he couldn’t possibly accomplish or overcome, yet with the power of devotion, with a leap of faith, he did things he never thought possible. In this workshop, we’ll test our limits, both on and off the mat, and see how a devoted and fearless heart can take us anywhere—even into hanumanasana the monkey posture! Approximately 2/3 of the time will be given to asana, and the remainder will be self exploration, story, myth and play.
