Guest guest Report post Posted January 2, 2005 Hi yoga geek, I don't know anything for 100%, but the best explanation I've heard is that the body is primarily composed of water... which of course is affected by the moons. The full moon means that rising energy is peaking so the practitioner may push themselves too hard, and cause injury. The new moon is the reverse, 'peaking' falling energies means that your body is at it's least physical and so your regular routine may be too strenuous, and cause injury. Maybe modified routines could be practiced on these days?
