Moon Days
The tradition says that Ashtanga yoga practitioners should not practice on the days of the new or full moon. The day you rest is the day of your regular practice time (morning or afternoon) nearest the new or full moon. I have taken the schedule from the lovely Ashtanga Yoga London.
My studios will not be closing but I will be offering a softer Mysore class or teaching Yin instead of Ashtanga on these days.
