Moon Days
"There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always a circular power returning into itself."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
A Living Tradition
In the Astanga Yoga traditon we are taught to practice yoga six days a week, taking off for moon days.
Traditionally, Saturday is the day of rest. On this day Pattabhi Jois recommends his students take an oil bath to reduce excess internal heat which can be felt as pain and stiffness in the body, a short temper, red skin, redness in the eyes, or pinkish acne.
To learn why Ashtanga Yoga practitioners take off practice on new moons and full moons visit Tim Miller at www.ashtangayogacenter.com/moon.html.
Women should not practice inverted asanas during days of menstration and if you practice daily, it is suggested to take rest for the first 2-3 days of your cycle.
2012 Moon Days
Mysore classes (Monday-Friday 6:00 AM) will be cancelled on the following days in observance of the moon.
