Moon Salutations (Chandra Namaskar): Full Moon Rituals

Moon Salutations or Chandra Namaskar will help you to cool down, rejuvenate and relax. Surya Namaskar usually moves forward and back on your mat. Chandra Namaskar starts on the right side of your mat, and we move sideways.

Chandra Namaskar activates the Ida Nadi, the lunar force connected to intuition. Ida is the feminine, intuitive, psychic energy which has cool relaxing and creative qualities. The 13 Asana or postures represent the 13 phases of the moon.

I really love this, and have done it several times. I am an advanced yoga practitioner and teacher so I know the poses and can do them safely. I would suggest that this is better for those who already have *some* yoga experience, since it is all audio. I also found the cue in pyramid pose “touch your forehead to your knee” to lack inclusivity for those with less flexibility. I suggest “move your forehead towards your knee”... it doesn’t have to touch to be effective! Thank you lovely Goddess teacher, I have benefited greatly from your offering!
