Chandra Namaskar – Pitta Balancing Moon Salutation for Cooling, Nervous System Calm & Relaxation

Chandra Namaskar, or Moon Salutation, is a cooling, meditative yoga sequence that helps balance Pitta dosha by releasing excess heat, calming the nervous system, and softening intensity in both body and mind. This gentle lunar flow stretches the spine, hips, side body, and hamstrings while building soft strength in the legs and core, making it ideal yoga for flexibility, grounding, and cooling the body after a busy or overheated day. Practised with slow, deep breathing and mindful pacing, Chandra Namaskar works as evening yoga for stress relief, emotional cooling, and better sleep, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and helping you unwind from Pitta-type overwork, irritability, and burnout. This Pitta pacifying Moon Salutation sequence is especially supportive in hot weather, stressful periods, or “Pitta season,” offering a nurturing way to stay centred, relaxed, and connected to soothing lunar energy in your Ayurvedic yoga routine. #chandranamaskar #moonsalutation #yogapose #yogaasana #relaxation #pittadosha #yogaforflexibility #eveningyoga
