What is Chandra Namaskar?

11/28/2019

You have probably heard or are familiar with Surya Namaskar (= Sun Salutation), but did you know that it has a sister, which is more soothing sequence called Chandra Namaskar
​(= Moon Salutation). As already mentioned it is more soothing and quieting sequence and it’s intention is to cultivate moon’s energy.

Why Chandra namaskar?
If you are under any kind of stress you will definitely benefit from the sequence of Moon Salutation. It balances energies and its really quieting practice.

Whenever you have the opportunity, I recommend you to practice Chandra Namaskar. Best time for this is, of course, in the evening when the moon is out. It offers you a beautiful way to prepare yourself for sleep. An important thing to remember when practicing moon salutations is to move slowly. If you are familiar with Sun Salutation where you move from asana to the next listening to your breath, moon salutation offers you the possibility not to sync with your breath each move.

Benefits of practicing Chandra Namaskar:
 • Helps you channel the cool, relaxing, and creative moon energy
 • Stretches the spine, hamstrings, strengthens legs, arms, back, and stomach muscles.

You can practice the sequence with me by watching the video. Please do note that the speed has been reduced for this video. 

​Namaste.
