Ardha Chandrāsana (Half Moon)

About the Pose

The blast off energy of this pose makes it a favorite for many practitioners. It is great for building muscular strength in your down leg and also for developing balance. Stretching through your up leg heel and the crown of your head is a unique stretch that feels so good. Opening your chest also opens your heart.

Pose Benefits
