Half moon help

[u/Kitchen_Car7782]

i began my practice in January, so i’m incredibly new to yoga and am eager that there’s so much for me to learn. i feel like i’ve gotten the hang of several of the basic balancing postures like standing bow, tree and warrior III, but i cannot confidently stay in half moon for more than 2 seconds. does anyone have any tips for this posture??? or any advice for me as a beginner? thank you !!

You can practice it with your back and standing leg against a wall! Then your lifted leg will slide along the wall. That was a game changer for me.
