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.

Nidra Yoga

Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep or Deep Sleep. While it is a form of deep relaxation it is often confused with meditation which is quite seperate. The key feature of Yoga Nidra is that you are in a waking state of conciousness, yet there are no images in the mind. This is different to meditation, where you focus your mind, and yet allow thoughts/sensations to arise.
