The yoga Moon Salutation was introduced in the 1980’s by some senior instructors (women, of course!) at Kripalu. They tell us that it is used to balance the more outgoing Sun Salutation. In contrast to the aggessiveness of the Sun Salutation, which warms you up and gets you going, the Moon Salutation was created to calm us down, bring us inward. Great for creativity, they say!
This is a lovely video of the Moon Salutation.
The Kripalu site advises us to take Moon Salutaion, break it down step-by-step, mastering each of the poses in the sequence (https://www.kripalu.org/kyta_artcl.php?id=53).
