Ardha Chandrasana – Half Moon Pose
❌ Common Mistakes: 🦶 Floppy top foot, weak ankle ✋ Top hand and arm unengaged 🤸♀️ Hand & foot too close – poor balance & alignment 🌀 No leg activation – hips collapse 🔻 Result: Instability, lack of core strength, and risk of injury. ✅ Better with a Block: 🦶 Foot flexed, toes spread, arch lifted 💪 Hand vibrant, arm active 🦵 Inner thigh hugs to bone, energy extends through heel 🟩 Block creates space for optimal alignment ✅ On the Floor (No Props): ✨ Floating ribs lift, back supported 🔁 Outer spiral on standing leg ➿ Inner spiral top leg ✅ Natural lumbar curve (no back sway) 🙌 Reaching from heart through top hand ✅ Floating (Advanced): ↕️ Extend & draw energy through both legs ❤️ Expand through chest and heart ➡️ Gaze toward thumb 🧘♀️ Long side body, full-body engagement 💡 Tip: Imagine energy shooting out through your limbs in all directions. Stay rooted yet light – this pose is all about balance, strength, and expansion.
