• Meaning and Purpose:
  "Chandra" means moon in Sanskrit, and "Namaskar" translates to salutation or greeting. This practice honors the moon’s gentle, reflective energy and is often performed to promote balance, calm, and introspection.
• Sequence Characteristics:
  The sequence typically involves a series of gentle, flowing poses that emphasize flexibility, balance, and relaxation. Many of the movements mirror those found in the Sun Salutation but are adapted to encourage a cooling effect, making it ideal for evening or restorative practice.
