half moon pose

Standing balance posture

Half moon pose is a standing yoga posture where the body forms a crescent shape—one leg grounded, the other extended horizontally behind, torso rotated open with one arm reaching skyward.

The pose challenges balance while opening the hips and chest.

In Sanskrit: ardha chandrasana.
