Ajna Chakra
(Third Eye Center)
Ardha Chandrasana
(Half Moon Pose)
The Sixth Chakra, Ajna Chakra, is located behind the third eye (which sits between the eyebrows). When Ajna is active and balanced, you have the ability to see clearly — and not just to see but to truly understand. So we chose Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose) as the pose to work on this month since the dristi (gaze) is such a central element to the pose. When you lift your gaze off a point on the floor and up into the expanse of space the whole pose changes. The balance becomes more difficult, but you can connect to a magical feeling of flying as you widen your gaze and see from a different perspective.
It takes courage to open your eyes and see things clearly, so practice that this month in a new year with a new opportunity to expand your Yoga practice, set your intentions for the year and fly gracefully into 2012.
*Special thanks to Yoga High student Robin who is courageously demonstrating Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose).
