Half Moon Pose
Muscle action
: Stretches the waist, the lats and the quadratus muscles.
1) Stand
facing forward, feet 3 feet apart, knees straight but not locked.
2) Place your
left hand on your left hip and lift your right arm so that the biceps
and ear are in line.
3) Inhale and
stretch upward, feeling the waist elongate, then exhale and stretch
slowly over to the left side.
4) Notice how
you're extending the right hand away from the right heel.
5) Don't
twist your body. To come out of the half moon pose, inhale and slowly
return to the starting position, then repeat on the other side.
Note: If you
have lower back problems, do the half moon yoga pose with knees slightly
bent. Don't force yourself farther than you can comfortably extend. Just
pull up and go over a few inches.
