Half Moon Pose Variations

There are many ways to modify this pose. It’s a difficult balance and requires a really strong supporting leg but there are ways to make it work for you.

Try it in side plank. This requires less strength on the supporting leg but gives you the ability to have a go at balancing, taking the gaze up, shining the heart and hips forwards, maybe lift the top leg too.

If all this works try it standing and have a wall behind you for support.

Have fun and smile!

Downward Facing Dog leading with the sit bones

Join me for an alternative way to come into downward facing dog. I usually encourage lengthening the legs and the hips automatically rise. Try leading with your sit bones instead. Focus on the length from firmly grounded hands, up the arms through wide shoulders, along the spine and into the sit bones. Legs can absolutely be left bent here to encourage those sit bones to towards the sky. Smile and breathe too! ?
