2 Bring the hands together at the chest with palms lightly pressed against each other (the Anjali-mudra).
3 Inhale and raise the arms straight up keeping the palms pressed lightly together.
4 Arch your body backwards keeping your arms alongside your neck and head, tilt the head backward and hold. Keep your knees straight while holding posture.

The ardha-chandra-asana is a basic stretching and balancing pose that benefits principly the lower back, abdomen and chest. It is equally suitable for use in your stretching routine as well as formal asana practice. Source
