Moon days refer to Full Moon & New Moon days.
Ashtanga yoga is traditionally not practiced on moon days. Taking moon days off is a wonderful way to feel more connected to the natural world and its rhythm. It allows time for essential rest for Ashtangis with a daily practice.
To help honour the rhythms of nature, here is a list of the moon days for this year below, or you can subscribe to this free Moon iCal which will always be kept up to date automatically...
