Why Moon Days in Ashtanga Yoga?

Traditionally the āsana and prāṇāyāma portions of Ashtanga Yoga were not practiced on Full or New Moon days. These are days when the position of the Sun and Moon are in alignment with the earth causing a stronger gravitational pull along a single axis. Energetically these are good days to rest and when āsana practice is done daily, the extra rest day is helpful for restoration and reflection.
