Ardha Chandrasana

This is the “Half Moon Rising " pose known for its grace and balance.

When coming into this pose one slowly raises the back leg away from the supporting leg giving the appearance of a half moon ascending.

In yoga mythology, the half moon is a symbol of regeneration. While holding Ardha Chandrasana, one feels revitalized and exhilarated .

Learning this pose comes easier using the support of a wall.
