Asana: Your Physical Practice

In exploration of asana (our physical practice experienced through yoga postures/poses), we are able to invite the advantages of proper alignment and depth to engagement into the practice.  Within the member portal, you have access to a library of asanas/postures that have been broken down with alignment and engagement aspects highlighted for the learning yogi in us all.

Revolved Half Moon  /  Parivrtta Arha Chandrasana

  • Revolved Half Moon is a closed-hip, twisting balance pose
  • The rooted foot angles with toes towards the top of the mat
  • The lifted foot angles with toes towards the mat and heel reaching toward the back wall, extending the leg straight out of the hip
  • Most practitioners will best experience this posture with a block under the bottom hand
  • Rotate within the spine as opposed to the hips.  This will keep the hips in a level position.
  • The top hand can reach towards the sky or be placed on the low back
    • Advanced: Bend the lifted knee and create a bind by bringing the hand to the foot
  • Guide the navel point towards the spine
  • Gaze can be wherever is most comfortable
