Moon Days
The mindful approach to moon phases
Full Moon / New Moon
In the tradition of Ashtanga Yoga, practice is not done on new and full moons.
On these days, the risk of injury is increased, and there is also a danger of overexertion. In respect and recognition of the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, we do not teach Mysore classes on these days. In the evenings (Saturdays & Sundays at 10 AM), a special class called “Moonpractice” is offered. This guided class reflects the qualities of Yin Yoga but is more dynamic at the beginning, and the individual positions are not held for as long. The “Moonpractice” is balancing and relaxing, making it a good complement to Ashtanga Yoga. These classes are suitable for all experience levels, and no prior knowledge is required. (Please refer to the detailed schedule.)
