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.

Partner Yoga

In Partner Yoga students pair up and use each other for support and counter balance. It's this interplay between the two partners that keeps the bodies in correct alignment and balance. Alongside the physical aspect of support that Partner Yoga provides are a myriad of psychological supports. Emotional ideas such as touch, intimacy, courage and trust are explored to promote physical and psychological wellbeing in daily life.
