Sit toward the front of the chair with your feet flat on the floor, slightly wider than hip-distance apart, and toes pointing comfortably forward. Keep the spine long and knees soft. Lift both arms and, turning gently from the waist, move the arms as if reaching to look at the moon behind you. As you turn, you can subtly lift the heels or simply imagine the rising motion. Inhale as you lower the arms and return to centre, maintaining length through the spine. Imagine carrying the light of the moon across the still waters of a lake. This gentle twisting movement, with its deep rotation, is associated with the Water element and the Kidneys, supporting circulation, grounding, and a sense of calm and reflection.
