Moon Salutation

Step 11: Crescent Moon Pose on Right Leg 

Inhale as you place your fingertips or palms on the floor beside your feet. At the same time take a big step back with your right, raising your torso and head, briefly assuming the Equestrian Pose. Still inhaling, bring your hands over your head, palms together, thumbs crossed. 

The arch extends from the toes of your right foot, through your leg and torso, and up to your fingertips. Your elbows are locked, your mouth is closed, your head is tilted back, and your gaze is directed upward. 

Exhale. 

Note: If you are new to the pose, you might want to start by keeping your knee on the floor. As you advance, lift it by straightening that leg.
