☆ Yoga Asanas: Chandra Namaskara: Salutations to the Moon ☆
Video Link >>>>
This posture develops balance and concentration; the breathing pattern becomes more demanding – inhalation, exhalation and breath retention are all prolonged.
The lunar energy flows within ida nadi. It has cool, relaxing and creative qualities.
The word ‘chandra’ means the moon. Just as the moon, having no light of its own, reflects the light of the sun, so the practice of chandra namaskara reflects that of the surya namaskara.
The sequence of the asanas is the same as surya namaskara except that ‘ardha chandrasana’, the half moon pose, is performed after ashwa sanchalanasana.
Also, in ashwa sanchalanasana the left leg is extended back in the first half of the round, activating ida nadi, the lunar force. In the second half of the round, the right leg is extended back.
The inclusion of ardha chandrasana is a significant change. The posture helps develop balance and concentration, adding another dimension to the practice. A further effect is that the breathing pattern becomes more demanding; inhalation, exhalation and breath retention are all prolonged.
The contra indications and other details: same as surya namaskara.
