Synchronizing with the Moon

Picture
About two thirds of the world is made up of water and our bodies are made up of approximately the same amount. As the moon affects the tides of our oceans, so too does it affect our bodies.  The phases of the moon follow a rhythm like the breath: the energy at full moon corresponds to the end of the inhalation when the life energy prana is at the maximum. It is an expansive and upward flowing energy that makes us feel energetic and emotional and not very grounded. On the other hand, the energy at new moon corresponds to the end of the exhalation when the life energy apana is dominant. Apana is a downward flowing, contracting energy that makes us feel calm and grounded but also heavy and indisposed.The same effect of the phases of the moon are true for all living creatures.

According to The Farmers Almanac, the new moon  is the  time for planting seeds when the rooting force is strongest and transplanting at the full moon when the flowering force is strongest. Yoga and Ayurveda  over time makes us more attuned to natural cycles. Observing the full moon and new moon days is a way to honor the rhythms of nature so we can live in greater harmony with it. Moondays provide us with  a lovely opportunity  for meditative practice  and setting intentions. If class falls on a moon day, classes will meet as usual, but the practice will be different. It will explore some different aspects  of yoga--pranayama, meditation, restorative poses.
