New & Full moon

According to tradition Ashtanga yoga (asana practice) is practised six days a week, with one day off on Saturday or Sunday. Rest is also taken on new and full moon days. When asana practice is done daily, rest days are necessary for regeneration and the extra biweekly "moon days" are welcome for that reason.

Ashtanga Yoga Malmö has in previous years always paused the morning mysore classes on new/full moon days, but in 2024 we have (for practical reasons) decided to stay open all days of the week. This allows our students to decide for themselves when to take a break. Students who wish to keep pausing on new/full moon are welcome to do so. The dates for 2024 are:
