You may think that it's impossible to do 5 poses leading to halfmoon pose (ardha chandrasana). It's a challenging pose that requires significant strength and flexibility in the back, hips and legs, not to mention overall balance! Rachel's approach here it to ensure that your body is fully warmed up and prepared before she takes you toward the full pose, so that you feel ready physically and mentally. Good luck!

This is really helpful and I felt more comfortable doing half moon now. Rachel is excellent at guiding the practice and the poses.
Any level will benefit from this practice.

This is a very well-structured class, with clear instructions and a steady progression. After doing it, I have realized that my half-moon pose is not good,s not because a lack of flexibility, but of strength and balance. Thank you, Rachel, wor making me aware of that! I definitely bookmark this one. Namaste!
