Moon Day Theory #5 {Dena Kingsberg}

Next Moon Day: Thursday, September 23, 2010.

From Dena Kingsberg:

"Both full and new moon days are observed as yoga holidays in the Ashtanga Yoga tradition.

What is the reasoning behind this?

Like all things of a watery nature (human beings are about 70% water), we are affected by the phases of the moon. The phases of the moon are determined by the moon's relative position to the sun. Full moons occur when they are in opposition and new moons when they are in conjunction. Both sun and moon exert a gravitational pull on the earth." read on

Moon Day Theory #4 {Karyn Grenfell}

Next Moon Day: Wednesday, September 8, 2010.

From Karyn Grenfell at Blue Lotus Ashtanga:

"Through practising Yoga we become aware of our own tendencies and the natural cycles that occur within and around us. Hopefully, over time we are able to function more harmoniously with ourselves and with the environment we live in.

Observing moon days connects us with the functioning of the universe and makes us aware of the effect the universal energy can have on us individually." read on
