Half moon pose is going to challenge your balance, your core strength, and strengthen your legs, were going to start by taking the front toes and pointing them the opposite direction of the body and, just like warrior one, back foot toes facing the front of the room. The key here is to leave this leg as straight as you can without bending it as you would in a triangle pose. If you have yoga block you can stack it here so you don't have to come all the way down to the floor. Were going to come up and, release and, hold and, extend that opposite leg out to the side and, as you build your strength relax and release that front leg slight bending the knee and, look away and, release back foot comes down, back in neutral, and, roll up. Obviously, you want to master your triangle pose before you extend on the opposite leg in the front into full extension and create that balance challenge of bringing that opposite leg out to the side. Half moon pose intermediate yoga pose.
