There is a technique known as Hatha Yoga, which signifies two polar energies of the human body. Hatha is the compilation of two words - Ha+ Tha, which signify the Solar and lunar energies, respectively.

This asana is derived from the Sanskrit term "Ardha", which means half, and "Chandra", which means hue of light, also a synonym of Moon.
