How to Do the Perfect Half Moon Pose (Complete Guide)

Perfect Half Moon Pose Technique

Half Moon Pose (Ardha Chandrasana) is a challenging standing balance that strengthens the legs, opens the hips, and requires coordination between stability and extension. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures proper alignment and safe progression into this advanced balancing pose.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

Foundation Setup:Begin in Triangle Pose, then place fingertips on floor in front of standing leg
Weight Transfer:Shift weight to standing leg, engage quadriceps and core
Leg Lift:Slowly lift back leg parallel to floor, flexing foot
Hip Opening:Open lifted hip toward ceiling, keeping hips stacked
Arm Extension:Reach top arm toward ceiling, creating long line
