Moondays 2008

Human beings are comprised of about 70% water, and thus affected by the phases of the moon. During a full moon we tend to feel more energetic, emotional, and are more headstrong. Related to the rising energy of the inhalation we lose our sense of groundedness. A new moon will make us more reflected, inward drawn, calm, and grounded. Related to the contracting, downward moving nature of the exhalation, we might experience a lack of motivation for any physical activity. Through a regular practice we become more sensitive to the cycles of the moon. On days of full moon and new moon we do without an asana (posture) practice, but do encourage you to engage in studying e.g. the yoga sutras of Patanjali or chanting.

The practices we ommit on moondays at North Sydney Yoga are chosen when closest to the actual Australian full or new moon.
