This is the furthest thing from a moon salutation on the internet. It is a variation of the sun salutation, surya namaskar. Why this comes up at the top of a search for moon salutations is rather mindboggling, lol.

Thank you so much for posting this, Yoga International team! I am following Dr. Lad's Ayurvedic Home Remedy protocol and his moon salutation matches this one. It is so so helpful to have a video version to understand the details of the sequence 🙏

This is an excellent softer alternative namaskara for that could be used as a warm-up in gentler, more looner-energy, yin-ish practice late in the evening. Love this! Will incorporate into my own practice and teaching.

Knee extending over your ankle will result in knee injuries when you are in chandra namaskar

This should say "moon salutation variation" and hardly any tutorial lasts 3 minutes my friend.
