As you learned in Yoga in Melissa 354, your balance relies on your vision, your proprioception and your vestibular system. Your body takes in these signals from your vision, proprioception and vestibular system through nerve impulses through special nerve endings called sensory receptors and sends signals to your brain. In this class on how to do half moon balancing pose or ardha chandrasana we will continue to train your proprioceptive system and your vestibular system. 

Half moon balancing pose is such a great pose to teach us about balance. We live in a world that expects us to move at a highly productive pace at all times. We are expected to have the same amount of energy no matter what is happening in our lives, no matter the season, no matter what time of day, no matter where we are in the moon cycle. 

There is a natural balance that happens when we flow with the energy of the moon. When the moon is new we can plant new seeds, plan, think, and quietly build our energy in a gradual way. When the moon is full, it is natural to feel an excess of energy and then it is time to let go again and begin to release. This is balance following the flow of the moon and the energy of the earth.
