Ashtanga Moon Days

2022/23 Moon Days

Traditionally, days of the new and full moon are rest days for Ashtanga Yoga practitioners. Just as the gravitational pull of the moon affects the tides in the ocean, it affects our body as well. Taking a day of rest from our asana practice gives our bodies a chance to restore and is a key aspect of maintaining a healthy connection to our bodies and our practice.
