full split, or hanumanasana, is a hard position to master, and it's one that doesn't come easily to a lot of people. It's named after Hanuman, the Hindu deity who is said to have taken a giant leap all the way from the south of India to the Himalayas to reclaim his love (hence the wide-open stance of your legs in this pose).
