Half Moon Pose (Ardha Chandrasana)

The Half Moon Pose (Ardha Chandrasana) is a Standing Pose that targets the legs, buttocks, and hips, and improves balance and strength.

Learn how to do the Half Moon Pose in this section:

	STEP 1: Start with a Trikonasana, with your left hand resting on your hip.
	STEP 2: Slightly bend your right knee then move a bit forward.
	STEP 3: Move your right hand forward - a few inches from the toes of your right leg, and
	STEP 4: Exhale and press your right hand and right heel into the floor for balance. Lift your left leg parallel to the floor.
	STEP 5: Raise your left hand. It should be aligned with your right hand. Bear your weight on the right leg.
	STEP 6: Look up at your fingers. Stay in this pose for a few seconds.

If you are a beginner, you can try this pose with the help of a block or a wall. You can use a block for support when you find it difficult to reach the floor with your lower hand. This pose can also be done with your back to (and leaning against) a wall.
