'''Ardha Chandrasana''' (is derived from the Sanskrit: अर्धचन्द्रासन; IAST: Ardha Candrāsana) '''ardha''', meaning '''half''', and '''chandra''', meaning '''moon''', and '''asana''' meaning '''seat''' or Half Moon Pose '''posture'''. This is an asanaa graceful, balanced pose which mirrors the image of the half moon in the sky and awakens the opposing sides of the physical body.
==Technique==
# First, come into the pose of Trikonasana on your right side and keep your left hand on your left side of the hip.
# Ensure you solidly drive the scapulas and sacrum against the back of your trunk (torso).
#Remain in the pose for a few seconds. After that put down your left leg down to the floor and come to your initial position. Repeat the same process on the opposite side.<ref name="Technique"/>

==Initial practice notes==
*As a beginner, you might find it difficult to touch the floor with the lower hand. You can use a block to help you out. *Start with the highest block, and decrease the size as you begin to balance your body and get comfortable.<ref name="Initial practice notes"/>
