Moon Salutations Flow #1 - 10 min.

Moon Salutations, called Chandra Namaskar, are a variation of the classic Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) and are designed to be relaxing and restorative for the body and mind. The Moon is of particular importance in Hatha Yoga as "ha" means sun and "tha" means moon. Hatha Yoga then is meant to bring unity and balance between these two opposites. While the sun it warming and invigorating, the moon is cooling and calming and these salutations are meant to celebrate and promote all that the moon has to offer.

This amazing class is great for any time of day, but is especially beneficial when performed in the evening as the series of poses is designed to calm the mind and relax every muscle in the body.

@pheshstar

true, this is a very unusual sequence to sun salutation, but it's closer to that than moon salutation. which is COMPLETELY different than this one.

[pheshstar]

@v0larevia this isn't like any sun salutation I have seen. I have never heard of this sequence though.

Lisa, you should not be teaching. This is not chandra at all. Someone made it up and now you are teaching it. Irresponsible and bad karma.

Not Moon Salutation.

[abhijitgutal]

This is Suryanamskar. It is Sun solutation. It is not something you invented. Please remove this video.

wow, this was very invigorating and warming to the body. the half crescent was great for stretching the hip fluxors. The only critique I have is that we should spend more time in the poses! :)
