MOON DAYS

In the Ashtanga Tradition there is no practice on both the full & new moon. Humans are about 70 percent water affected by the phases of the moon just as the tides are.  Full moon energy relates to the end of the inhalation when the force of prana is strongest. This lifting upward energy makes us feel energized yet not well grounded. We tend to be more headstrong during the full moon.

The new moon energy relates to the end of the exhale when the force of apana is strongest. Apana is the downward moving energy that makes us feel grounded yet we can feel lack of energy during the new moon.

Observing the moon days makes us not too attached to our yoga practice while living in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
