30 Types of Yoga Asanas and Their Health Benefits

Crescent Pose – Anjaneyasana

Yoga Pose - Anjaneyasana

This pose stretches and strengthens the leg muscles.  Start in a mountain pose and then take a wide step forward with your right foot in a wide stance.  the right knee mustn’t extend beyond the right foot, that is, the angle at the knee is either straight or obtuse.

  • Make the back left leg strong, tighten the muscles so that the leg is taut like a string.
  • Extend both arms over your head and relax your entire upper body, leaving the minimum tension required to maintain the asana.
  • Be sure to repeat the asana, changing legs.
