Chandra Namaskar
Flexibility
•
12m
In this class I'm sharing the Moon Salutation with you (Sanskrit name Chandra Namaskar). Its a less energetic sequence than the Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar), focusing more on the legs and hips, and is suitable to practise in the evening to quieten the energy rather than rev it up.
Props needed: You might need blocks/books for under your hands in Pyramid Pose (Parsvottanasana) and Garland Pose (Malasana).
Mat direction: Long edge facing the screen.
