Flow Yoga Crescent Moon up to Warrior 1

This is a nice yoga flow that uses a yoga pose called Crescent Moon Pose twice. Once on the way back and once on the way forward. If you want you can switch legs rather than staying on the same leg which is demonstrated. Crescent Moon Pose is a hard yoga posture to perform. It can hurt the knee or can lead to Sacrum stability problems. Be careful when you perform it and enter it lightly. Transitioning up to Warrior 1 Pose is nice from Cresent Moon Pose but requires the practitioner to hold one of the yoga postures for a full breath.
