So we're going to do crescent moon or Ardha Chandrasana. Balancing on one side. And come
into a side balancing bow. Once again, getting into the side balance. I like to pop off and
hover. Pop, hover, hold. Establish the balance and turn. You really got to squeeze the back
of that leg. Pull up on this hip. And then going very gradually, downward. A little bobble
in there. That's the process you have to go through, to get your hand to the mat. And
you reach it out. There's the side balance. Now to balancing bow, you actually have to
pick up your hand. Move it behind you, a little bit. Because you're going to bow. And be cautious
here. Be confident in your hips. Big stretch on the standing inner thigh, happening here.
Pay attention to your standing knee. Don't let it turn out too much. Keep your weight
over the foot and not the hand. Pull back. And you can turn and look at your hand. It's
just behind you. Big backward bend. Challenge here to the balance, as you take the leg out.
Wooh! Take the hand back. There it goes. Your back over your center of gravity. So there's
a shift to the balance there. Pull off, come up with the toe. Aah! Trikonasana. Finish
off in a nice stable, open pose. And come up.
