Focus

Ardha chandrasana (half moon pose) and its twisted variation parivrtta ardha chandrasana have a variety of associated benefits. Some of these benefits are more readily accessible, and some of them are more subtle and evolve over time with sustained practice. On a very practical level these poses helps to improve mobility in your hamstrings, adductors, hips and spine. They can also improve your sense of balance, and can foster a general sense of confidence, resilience and inner strength. This class focuses exclusively on ardha chandrasana and parivrtta ardha chandrasana. It takes an in-depth look at these key standing poses and explores them from a variety of angles. Fundamental actions are broken down and examined in detail. It also shares several ways in which a wall can be used to improve stability and balance. In addition to deepening your understanding of revolved half moon pose this class will also give you some new perspectives on the whole standing pose asana group.
