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.

Yin Yoga

Most people will have heard of the notion of Yin and Yang - feminine and masculine opposites. Yang or masculine energy is embodied in dynamic/power yoga where heat and movement are paramount. Yin Yoga counteracts this with quiet stillness, holding single poses for up to 20 minutes at a time. The balancing, feminine energy of Yin Yoga works deeply on the hips, and lower spine. Rather than targeting the muscles, Yin Yoga stimulates the connective tissue (ligaments and tendons) deep in the joints.
