Hanuman’s successful transit across the ocean was referred to as the Giant Leap, the leap of faith! The son of wind God, he used the power of wind to fly to Lanka, skillfully tackling the obstacles on his way. In that giant leap Hanuman embodied his love for Sita and Lord Rama.
I tell the story as an opener for this week's yoga class. I simply love the series of asanas that build to the final expression of Hanuman's Giant Leap. I feel great after this practice, and I'm sure you will too.
