Moon Salutations soothe.
Like Sun Salutations connect us to the energy of the Sun, the Moon Salutation connects us to the energy of the Moon.
Chandra means Moon. Namaskar means Salutations.
In the yogic tradition, Chandra refers to the Moon, which is associated with the feminine principle. It has a reflective, receptive, and nurturing energy.
Moon Salutations are especially nice to do in the evening to calm and soothe the body. The meditative, calming quality of the poses helps to form a strong connection to the breath, preparing the body and the mind for a restful night’s sleep. Chandra Namaskar is often practiced on or around a full or new moon.
We will be moving through the Chandra Namaskar poses in honor of the moon, in honor of our self, and in honor of the world.
Cost is $20 or included with membership.
