Ardha chandrasana (Crescent pose)

Inhale and stand up straight, with your knees slightly bent. Exhale, bending to place your palms flat on ground. Inhale, extending your right leg behind as much as possible. Simultaneously, drop your left knee to the ground. Exhale. Inhale and lift your head to look up. Hold for a while, breathing normally. Return to the starting position. Repeat for left leg.

Sequence: If you wish to make it part of a sequence, you can incorporate the cat stretch or majariasana and the plank pose (setuasana) as part of a flow.

Benefits: The pose gives the entire body a powerful stretch. Thyroid and immune glands both enjoy a massaging effect that boosts metabolism and robust health respectively. Boosts physical stamina.
