End the Moon Salutation in the same way as you started, by standing up straight with your legs wide apart and your hands on your hips. Now carry out the same sequence in reverse for the other side of your body. Bend your left leg to come into a yogi squat. Bring the palms of your hands together in front of your chest. Bend your right leg into a squat position and stretch your left leg out. Raise your arms over your head and lean back slightly. Drop into a lunge by bending your right leg and resting your left knee and left foot on the floor. As you exhale, allow your left arm to go down to the floor and bend down over your stretched out right leg. Turn your feet 45° to the right and, as you exhale, let your upper body descend to the right side, with your arms stretched out so that they are perpendicular to the floor. As you inhale, straighten your legs and stretch your arms out to the right and left. Bend your arms into a right angle so that your hands are above your ears and press your thumbs and index fingers together. Descend into the goddess pose by standing with your feet wide apart and bending your knees.
As you breathe in, reach your arms above your head and stretch over to the right side as you breathe out.
Start by standing up straight, with your feet shoulder width apart. The moon salutation is divided into 17 individual poses, which together form a relaxing, regenerative flow: Its cooling effect makes the Moon Salutation particularly suitable for practising in the summer months. While the Sun Salutation involves greeting the warm, stimulating and outwardly directed energy (yang) of the sun and the start of a bright and beautiful day, the Moon Salutation welcomes the calming, inwardly directed and energising power (yin) of the moon. Chandra Namaska simply means “greeting the moon”. Just as the moon represents an opposing and cooling balance to the sun, the “Chandra Namaskar” Moon Salutation is a counterpart to the Sun Salutation.
NEW MOON YOGA SEQUENCE FULL
The full moon then gradually wanes until a new cycle begins. Circular movements with the arms imitate the different phases of the moon’s cycle: starting with the new moon, it goes through the moon’s growing phases until the full moon can be admired in all its beauty. It is made up of 17 tranquil yoga asanas, which together form a flow of movements practised as a sequence in harmony with our breathing, which have an energising effect on the body. The Moon Salutation originated in Hatha yoga. The Moon Salutation in yoga – a homage to the cycle of the moon The moon, also known as la Luna, is a symbol of female strength and is the opposite pole to the male energy of the sun. Men have only one moon centre, which is at the chin, which means they have far fewer moon centres than women. Just as the moon’s energy changes and follows a cycle from one new moon to the next, our feelings and the way we see the world can also change depending on the phase of the moon. The moon’s energy changes every 2.5 days and runs through a 28-day cycle. When the moon’s energy is in this particular moon centre, we often find ourselves in a phase when we are full of ideas, feel creative and make plans. One of them, for example, is in the eyebrows. In some forms of yoga, it is said that (as well as chakras) there are also precisely localised energy centres in the body that react to the moon’s energy: these are known as moon centres, which are activated during the various phases of the moon. You might already have noticed that you don’t sleep so well when there’s a full moon. It not only influences gravity and therefore the tides, it is also said that the moon can influence our own wellbeing.
