Moon Salutation is not well known nowadays, but it remains effective nevertheless; it is very beneficial for the health and balance of the organs and mind. It has rounded gestures that enhance the lateral perception of the body, agility, lightness, and breath expansion. Strengthens the entire body, donates a progressive postural rebalance and its subsequent benefits in de-ambulation and joint and spine wellbeing; favours drainage of stagnant and excessive liquids and thus body purification, weight loss and tissue tone. Moreover, it expands breath by teaching complete and aware inhalation and exhalation, expands the chest and develops thorax, shoulder and arm musculature; trains for aerobic exercise, increases mobility of the joints, favours mental concentration and generates a feeling of wellbeing and optimism.
The movements of this exercise are complementary to those of Sun Salutation; they look at the night, at the moon, that queen of waters, whose actions not only influences the tides but are also essential in regulating the vital rhythm of Nature. It is only thanks to the action of the moon that pure sunlight can become creative and generate form and substance.
