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.

Postnatal Yoga

Post-natal Yoga works specifically with new mums on helping them transition from pregnancy to motherhood. The idea behind post-natal yoga is not to get the new mum's back to their original physical shape/fitness, but to find a new health and vitality. Poses that address new strains or weaknesses specific to the new role are the focus of the class, such as pelvic floor/mula bandha, abdominal strength or opening up in the shoulders. Creating some time in the day that is wholely for the new mum is equally important.
