Description If you are suffering from a terrible back pain
and don't know what to do, try ardha chandrasana (half moon pose) to
enjoy remarkable benefits of yoga.
Firstly, let us consider how to do ardha chandrasana:
Perform the 'Utthita Trikonasana' (extended triangle) to your
right side, by placing your left hand on your left hip. Then inhale
and bend right knee. Now slide your left foot forward nearly six to
twelve inches along the floor. Meanwhile, move your right arm forward,
that is, beyond the right foot's toe side, about twelve inches.
Then, exhale and force down your right heel and right hand into
the ground firmly. Stretch actively towards the left heel and maintain
the raised leg strongly. Make sure not to hyperextend the standing
knee, ensuring that knee-cap is straight and aligned forward and not
turned inward.
Now, rotate your upper-torso to the left and move your left hip
towards the front slightly. If this is your beginner yoga pose, make
sure to keep your left-hand on the left hip. Now, continue to maintain
your head in the neutral position by looking forward.
Place your body weight completely on the leg that you are standing
on. Now, press your lower-hand on the ground lightly, make use of this
intelligently to normalize your balance. Slightly lift your inner
ankle from the standing position in the upward direction. Next, press
the scapulas and sacrum firmly against the back torso. Now, lengthen
the coccyx towards the raised heel.
Remain in this pose for thirty seconds to one minute. Then, bring
back the raised leg onto the floor while exhaling and move on to
Trikonasana.
Finally, proceed to do this on the left side too for same
duration.
