The Significance of the Moon to Yoga  Close
If you are familiar with ashtanga yoga, you've probably been cautioned against practicing yoga at the time of a full or new moon.

This has little to do with the popular notion of higher incidences of accidents and birthings during full moons, but more to do with our internal energies at these times.

A full moon is the product of the sun and moon at opposite ends of each other, and the earth fixed between. This positioning causes both the sun and moon to gravitate to the earth, resulting in the pulling of tides in bodies of water. Alternately, a new moon occurs when both the sun and moon are in conjunction.

Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga is a rigorous yoga practice that cleanses the body through increased circulation and perspiration. Most easily identified by the repeated phrase of movements/sun salutations at the beginning of the practice, as well as Vinyasa (half sun salutations) between the seated poses. Every movement has a breath, and so the set class sequences become like a moving meditation. It is important to note that to become an official Ashtanga teacher requires extensive study under the direct tuteledge of Sri Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. However, many teachers do teach in the Ashtanga or Vinyasa style.
