Half Moon pose is an expansive yet refined posture. It challenges us with the focus required in a standing balance, but encourages up to soften constraints, play with gravity, and reach away from the secure centre of our core. In this class we will work towards Half Moon Pose, guided in stages to align with your practice.

Recommended Props: Mat, 2 hard blocks optional
