Moon Days

It's traditional in Ashtanga Yoga to observe the full moon and new moon by taking a break from yoga on those days.

Usually there are no classes scheduled on full moon or new moon days in our Calendar.

However as we are operating a reduced timetable over Summer 2025, there will be classes on Moon Days until further notice.

What the terminology means
  • "Waxing" means the moon is moving towards being 'full', when the moon is the most visible in the sky. 
    If the app says 'Full' it's a full moon day and there is no yoga class. If it says it displays a '% of Full', it's still waxing towards becoming full. There are yoga classes on these days if there is one normally scheduled.

     
  • "Waning" means the moon is moving towards becoming a new moon, when the moon is the least visible in the sky.
