MOON CALENDAR

.

Why?

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

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. Their relative positions create different energetic experiences that can be compared to the breath cycle. The full moon energy corresponds to the end of inhalation when the force of prana is greatest. This is an expansive upward moving force  that makes us feel energetic and emotional, but not well grounded. The upanishads state that the main prana lives in the head. During the full moon we tend to be more headstrong. The new moon energy corresponds to the end of exhalation when the force of prana is greatest. Apana is a contracting, downward moving force that makes us feel calm and grounded, but dense and disinclined towards physical exertion. The farmers Almanac recommends planting seeds at the new moon when the rooting force is strongest and transplanting at the full moon when the flowering force is strongest. Practicing Ashtanga Yoga over time makes us more attuned to natural cycles. Observing moon days is one way to recognize and honor the rhythms of nature so we cam live in greater harmony with it.

Yoga and Ayurveda

Yoga is an integral part of Ayurveda. The rapid industrialization and technological advances have made life fast and artificial. Pollution and adulteration have vitiated his surrounding and environment. Man’s mind is full of stress and disharmony. Yogic practices release man’s stress and strains and Ayurvedic practices restore his hormonal and functional normalcy and correct the susceptibility to environmental variation and behavioral fluctuations. So Yoga is an exercise for the body as well as the mind. Different yogic postures help to improve the flexibility of the body and meditation can be done in any comfortable posture.
