The Crescent Moon Pose is a basic move that can help you stretch and relax almost anywhere.
You Will Need
- Comfortable clothing suitable for stretching and moving
- A calm place where you won't be distracted or disturbed
- A yoga mat or folded blanket
Step 1: Mountain Pose
Stand at the front of your mat with your feet hip-width apart and your weight evenly distributed between them, your spine erect, and your arms at your sides.
Step 2: Raise arms
Inhale, raising your arms out to your sides and up and over your head, pressing your palms together.
Step 3: Shift hips & arch torso
Shift your hips to left while arching your torso and arms to the right. Your body should make crescent shape from hands to feet.
Step 4: Hold pose
Hold the pose for several comfortable breaths.
Step 5: Release pose
Release by straightening your spine and returning to an erect position, arms still overhead.
Step 6: Repeat pose
Repeat the bend on the other side, holding the same number of breaths.
Step 7: Release pose
Release by straightening your spine, returning to an erect position, and lowering your arms.
Half the moon is always in sunlight—the phase of the moon depends on how much of the sunlit half is visible from earth at any one time.
