Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ardha Chandrasana comes from Sanskrit words \u2018Ardha\u2019<\/strong>, means \u2018Half\u2019<\/strong> and \u2018Chandra\u2019<\/strong> means \u201cMoon\u201d<\/strong>. It is a modern yoga pose, and that too a standing one. There are three different poses in the same asana. It is considered as a part of the Moon salutation poses.<\/p>\n

How To Do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2981 You have to stand in the triangle pose initially. Then you can slowly lower the left side of the body, with the left hand outstretched downwards.
\n\u2981 Contract the core, and slowly bring your right hand to your right hip and lift up your right foot and straighten your right leg upward or sideward, balancing the body on the left leg and the left hand, that are on the floor. Your gaze will be at the left hand.
\n\u2981 Ensure your left leg sturdy by engaging your glutes and quads. Lift up the kneecap, and anchor yourself with the four corners of your left foot, grounding yourself into the earth for support.
\n\u2981 After you are done, rotate your right hip back, stacking it on top of your left hip. So, instead of your hips being parallel to the earth, they should be parallel to the right-side wall, where you are positioned.
\n\u2981 Thereafter, extend your right hand towards the sky, with the palm facing the right side of the room.
\n\u2981 Lift the shoulder blades. You can imagine that you’re holding a pencil in between your shoulder blades.
\n\u2981 Stay like that for a few deep breaths.
\n\u2981 Slowly break out of the position, in the same way you came got into it. Repeat for the other side.<\/p>\n
