- 1). Stand with your back one leg's length from a wall in mountain pose with your feet together and your arms resting at your sides. Inhale deeply, lifting your arms overhead with palms facing and lengthening through your spine.
- 2). Exhale slowly and using controlled motions, bend forward at the hips. As you bend forward, lift your right leg. Bring your fingertips to the ground and the bottom of your right foot flat on the wall. Try to lift your leg until it is parallel to the floor.
- 3). Push your right heel into the wall and inhale into this position. As you exhale, lift your right arm and rotate your torso towards the right side. In the same motion, pivot your right foot against the wall, pressing into the heel and turning the foot so that your toes also point to the right side.
- 4). Breathe deeply into the pose, trying to increase the distance between your fingertips. Turn to look at your right thumb and open your chest towards the sky as much as possible.
- 5). Hold the yoga half moon pose for at least five deep breaths and then exhale as you pivot the foot and rotate your torso back to center. Inhale up to standing, release your leg and repeat the pose on the opposite side.
