I liked the series you linked to, but I have never seen it before in any

tradition! I wonder where it came from?

 

In the Hatha Yoga classes I attend, we consider this the (a) "moon

salutation":

 

Tadasana/mountain pose

Transition: right knee to chest

Vrksasana/tree pose

Transition: knee back to chest, fold 1/2way forward into --

Virabhadrasana III/flying warrior

Ardha Chandrasana/1/2 moon pose this variation:

Transition: back through Vira III into --

Pavritta Ardha Chandrasana/revolved 1/2 moon pose this variation:

Transition: back to Vira III then bring left knee to chest and come to stand

Vrksasana/tree pose

Transition: knee to chest

Tadasana

 

Then repeat on other side, leading with left leg, opposite arm, etc...

 

Om Somaya Namaha!

** I too am not familiar with this version. As I said in a previous

post though, there are numerous variations of both the Surya &

Chandra Namaskaras.

 

Here is a 'cute' link. It has a moving diagram:

And this site has the moon salutation I am most familiar with:

You know, I think we realize that there are many variations, etc...I

just found some random link and threw it up for fun instead of

pontificating about "chandra namaskar." I actually DO ashtanga

yoga so that means I really don't do "moon salutations" in my

practice anyway.

 

It looks from your website that you don't do ashtanga any more

but some other kind of thing - which is... whatever, cool. That's

why I asked about the "certification" There are so many fools out

there who offer "ashtanga teaching certifications" - it's sort of

riduculous. I was mainly curious also because you seem to be

giving a lot of advise that my teachers would never give. But

good for you, 1985? You must know Nancy Gilgoff and David

Williams and that whole bunch.

Check out funkybadlady's thinly-disguised scepticism!

I studied sivananda/satyananda yoga in the past, so i am very

familiar with their surya and chandra namaskar. In ashtanga we have

the surya A and B, in satyananda surya and chandra namaskar. Now the

thing is that the posture in the middle of chandra namaskara

resembles a lot of the virabhadrasana in ashtanga`s sun salutation B.

You also do both sides, right side first and then left side, so i am

sure there must be a connection somewhere betwen this northern form

of yoga(satyananda/sivananda) and the southern (ashtanga).

** No. I teach Ashtanga, primary series, every Friday night.

 

[[.. you seem to be giving a lot of advise that my teachers would

** I am not you. Much of my biomechanical advice is tempered with a

Ph.D in physical education. That, & 30+ years of Yoga experience.

My perspective: I do not limit myself to one perspective when Yoga is

such a lovely & diverse field in which to play & enjoy.

 

Om Shanti ...
