Moon Days

Traditionally in Ashtanga you don't practice on "moon days" which are the full moon and new moon.

I always just accepted this as a fact and didn't really care why.
However the "why" is kind of interesting. Here is a link if you would like to learn more~ http://www.ashtangayogacenter.com/moon.html

upcoming moon days are as follows:
Oct 23, 2010 ~ Saturday ~ Full Moon
Nov 6, 2010 ~ Saturday ~ New Moon
Nov 22, 2010 ~ Monday ~ Full Moon
Dec 6, 2010 ~ Monday ~ New Moon
Dec 21, 2010 ~ Tuesday ~ Full Moon ~ Total Lunar Eclipse and Winter Solstice


Namaste!
