Instructions

Chandra Namaskar (Moon Salutation) depicts the Moon (Ida Nadi) or the feminine side of the energy in the human body. Since the Moon is cooling and soothing, this sequence can be introduced to bring down the energies while also balancing them. 饾摝饾摫饾摦饾摲 饾摻饾摳 饾摥饾摳 Chandra Namaskar is done at the end of the yoga practice to cool the body.

Unlike Surya Namaskar Chandra Namaskar starts with the left side of the body (Ida Nadi). Unlike sun salutations, where we are encouraged to hold each pose for a longer time, with moon salutations, poses flow into each other without much hold in each position.Video @Outfi @Mat @#chandranamaskar #moonsalutation #moonsalutations #yogaformenstruation #traditionalyoga #hathayoga
