Today I want to talk to you about the crescent pose or ardha chandrasana. This is a lateral balancing posture based on tadasana or mountain pose. With this posture you will be able to strengthen your legs and ankles, make your back more flexible and reduce back pain and discomfort. Strengthen your arms, improve digestion, balance and proprioception. Work your glutes and much more. It is best if you can receive complete instruction to success doing the half-moon pose.
