Ever wonder why yoga teachers get so excited during full moons? Let me tell you why – it’s actually pretty cool!

A moon ritual is like a special yoga party that happens when the moon is full and bright in the sky. It’s super simple: you do some yoga poses while thinking about the big, beautiful moon above.

Here’s what makes it fun:

• You can light some nice-smelling incense
• Play soft, relaxing music
• Use pretty crystals around your yoga mat
• Add some sweet-smelling oils

Think of it like this – just like the moon changes in the sky, our bodies and minds go through changes too.

When we do yoga during full moons, it’s like pressing a refresh button on our bodies and minds. Kind of like when you restart your computer to make it work better!

You don’t need to be a yoga expert to try this. If you can touch your toes or stretch your arms up high, you’re ready to start! It’s just like regular yoga, but with some extra special touches that make it feel magical.

The best part? There’s no right or wrong way to do it. You’re just taking some quiet time to stretch, breathe, and feel good. Easy peasy!

How to Do Your Moon Ritual (The Easy Way!)

Getting Ready:

1. Take a nice, warm bath (like getting ready for a special event!)
2. Add some calming smells to your bath – like lavender (it’s like nature’s chill pill!)
3. Dry off with a soft, cozy towel
4. Put a few drops of special oils on your feet (it’s like giving your feet a tiny massage!)

What Happens During Different Moon Times:

Full Moon Time:

• Your feelings might be bigger and stronger (like turning up the volume on your emotions)
• You might feel a bit more cranky or tired than usual
• It might be harder to feel creative
• Problems might seem bigger than they really are

But don’t worry! That’s exactly why we do moon yoga – it helps calm these big feelings down.

New Moon Time:

• This is your “fresh start” time
• It’s like the first day of school – full of new chances
• You might feel ready to try new things
• But you might also feel a little nervous (and that’s totally okay!)

Why Do Moon Yoga?

• It helps you feel more peaceful
• Makes your day start better
• Keeps you relaxed (like having a calm superpower!)
• Helps handle those big emotions

Remember: These moon changes are totally normal – just like how sometimes you feel super happy and other times you feel a bit down. Moon yoga helps smooth out these feelings!

5 Yoga poses for the full moon

Adho Mukha Svanasana Variation (Downward Looking Dog)

This pose helps you get more flexible. Do you feel like there’s not enough time in the day?
There are so many things we need to do, but we always seem to run out of time.

This pose gives you a break from the busy world. It’s like the opposite of the usual Downward Dog. Instead of lifting up, you let gravity pull you down.

It’s easy because you sit on the floor. This pose makes you more flexible. It also opens up your lungs, making it easier to breathe.

Padangustasana (Foot Toe Pose)

Padangustasana stretches your foot’s bottom. It’s great for stretching your feet’s ligaments, tendons, and muscles. This pose stretches your ankles, calves, and knees’ back.

It helps you balance and get more flexible.

Urdhva Hastasana (Upward Salutation)

Urdhva Hastasana is a tough pose. First, stand in warrior pose. Then, lift your arms up until they’re parallel to the floor on an inhale.

Exhale and bend your knees. Lower your body until your thighs are straight up. Inhale again and lift your arms back up.

This pose strengthens your body. It’s good for your stomach, spine, arms, legs, shoulders, and feet. It helps with back pain, arthritis, and high blood pressure.

It’s one of the hardest poses, so practice slowly and safely.

Shanti Virabhadrasana (Peaceful Warrior)

This pose is simple and great for beginners. But, there are advanced versions too.

This pose has only two parts. Hold the pose first. Then, move your arms into the next part.

Bring your arms back to the start. The hardest part is there’s no right way to hold your arms.

Chandra Namaskar (Moon Salutation)

It’s the most important yoga exercise. Do it once a day, best in the morning before eating. It wakes you up and gets you ready for the day.

Chandra Namaskar cleanses your body and prepares you for meditation. It’s great for a healthy life.

If you’re overweight, do Namaskar daily. It burns calories and detoxifies your body. You’ll feel more alive and energetic.

If you’re depressed or have health issues, Namaskar brings peace and comfort.
