If we accept that the phases of the moon do have

an effect on our lives, then respect for the full

and new moons should factor into how and when we

practice.<br><br>The theory works something like this:<br><br>Pranic

energy of the earth and heavens is at its peak during

the full moon; therefore it's best not to practice

during this time because of the possibility of using too

much force in our practice -- leading us to hurt

ourselves.<br><br>Pranic energy of the earth and heavens is at its ebb

during the new moon; and therefore it's best to also

take these days off from practice to stay in harmony

with nature's time of rest.

Hi, <br><br>This is very interesting , because

once a while back I did in fact practice during a full

moon and my practice was disappointing. Well, not so

much disappointing but I found that I was working

extra hard and couldnt keep myself steady, focused.

<br><br>In fact I noticed that a majority of the class was

having a hard time staying focused. Alot of students

were falling of balance and they were not holding the

asanas for the whole length of the count.<br>I guess

knowing and understanding the moon would not keep you

from practicing. It could just make you aware that you

should practice softer...Would this make

sense>?<br>always ~Rose

I tend to agree -- the relationship between moon

phases, practice, biorhythms, attitude and perception is

perhaps a bit more metaphorical than

absolute!<br><br>Yet, after coming from a place where I thought this

moon phase stuff was simply nonsense, I find that it

does feel right to take a break from practice during

the full and new moons.
