Moon Days

Posted by admin in Yoga

There is a belief that yoga should not be practiced on days of the new or the full moon, basically twice or three times a month. Moon days are observed mostly in the Ashtanga yoga practice. Your average monthly calender usually indicates when these days are. In March those two days are Saturday 3rd and Sunday 18th. This belief has to do with the moons gravitational pull on the earth. On new and full moon days the pull is stronger which makes you less grounded. Not practicing yoga on these days therefore will bring you in greater harmony with natural cycles.
