Anjaneyasana (Crescent Lunge) is a foundational standing posture that builds leg strength, balance, and hip mobility while promoting spinal length. In this tutorial, we explore how to practice Crescent Lunge safely and confidently, with modifications for beginners and for anyone with balance, strength, or mobility limitations.
This tutorial focuses on:
• Proper foot placement and stance setup
• Knee and hip alignment for joint safety
• Core engagement and pelvic stability
• Shoulder and arm variations for accessibility
• Use of blocks or support for balance
• Common beginner challenges and how to modify
• Breath cues to support steadiness and ease
Anjaneyasana stretches the hip flexors, quadriceps, and calves while strengthening the legs and supporting posture. When practiced mindfully, Crescent Lunge helps build confidence, coordination, and embodied awareness—without forcing depth or range of motion.
This practice is ideal for:
️ Beginners learning standing poses
️ Building strength and balance gradually
️ Hip opening and posture support
️ Yoga Teacher Training study and cueing
️ Anyone seeking accessible lunge variations
The emphasis of this tutorial is stability before depth, allowing strength and openness to develop over time through breath-led movement.
