Hold the pose for short time.
Lower the arms and place the hands on each side of the left foot .
Breathing; Inhale deeply while raising the arms, arching the back and bending the head back.
Retain the breath inside while holding the posture for a few seconds.
Start exhalation while lowering the arms.
Awareness ;  Physical on the smooth controlled movement and balance. Slowly withdraw the the awareness from the breath and become aware of the space between the eye brows. Within this space, visualize the full moon in a clear night sky, shining brightly upon the waves of the ocean. The full reflection of the moon light catches the tops of the waves as they dance. See the image clearly and develop awareness of any feelings or sensations that are created in the mind and body. 
Slowly let  the visualization fade and again become aware of the whole body in the standing position.
