The
Standing Side Stretch is another yoga pose with two lines of energy radiating outward from your center. One line of energy reaches upward from your belly and outward through the arm, and one line travels downward through the legs. Your pelvis will be in cat tilt. This is a simple yoga posture with a wonderful stretch.
Standing Side Stretch (Ardha Chandrasana I)
1. Stand in Tadasana (Mountain Pose) with your feet together. Have your arms by your sides, gaze straight ahead, and establish a smooth flowing breath as you wait for the inner cue to begin. When you are ready, exhale.
2. As you inhale, raise the left arm until it is vertical, alongside your ear, with the palm facing inward. Stretch outward through your arm and hand as you bring it up, circumscribing as large a circle as possible with your fingertips. Keep your left arm alongside your ear throughout the yoga pose. Place your right hand on your right hip.
