Moon Salutations 🌙 in the studio this morning

Day 29: Morning Yoga Challenge - Let it go!

Earlier in the challenge we did a few variations of sun salutations - this class we'll be doing a moon salutation. Sun salutations are for creating energy and heat. In a moon salutation we are creating a sense of relief and soothing, and well, just letting it go!

You may like a few props - maybe a couple of bricks or books would work fine.

Drop me an email if there is something you would love to see or something you are currently working with :) Or sign up below to stay updated.

Moon Salutation Yoga Series for Blessingway

Moon Salutation Yoga Series for Blessingway

At my blessingway with my new daughter Vivian, my mom led us through a moon salutation together outside and then we all entered the blessingway space via a “birth arch” made with the women’s arms (think London Bridge only all in a row making a channel of arms to pass through). This weekend, we had a women’s retreat with the theme of the sacred body and I found this moon salutation from the book S…

Moon Salutations: Why, How

Moon Salutations: Why, How

In my classes this week and in our 200-hour yoga teacher training this weekend, I led Moon Salutations. You’re familiar with Sun Salutations, which typically involve folding and lunging poses facing the front edge of the mat. The Moon Salutations I teach (and please know that there are dozens of other beautiful approaches to the concept) instead face the long edge of the mat. They involve much…

Try this gentle Moon Salutation sequence by Shiva Rea.

“... the idea of looking to the moon for rejuvenation is certainly not new. In fact, the Shiva Samhita, a 500-year-old Tantric text, regarded the moon as the source of immortality.”

One of the first yoga classes I ever took included Chandra Namaskar, or moon salutations. There was something so nourishing and luxurious about the pace, the revolutions made on the mat, the way the body stays closer to the earth than in the traditional sun salutations that gave me a truly unforgettable experience. Years after my first taste of a little moon movement, a part of me prays for guided moon salutes whenever I step into a candlelit, night cap yoga class. It still hasn’t happened. So I figure it’s time to take matters into my own hands and make it part of my home practice before bed.

Watch: Sequencing Intensive: Moon Salutations

Moon Salutations offer a wonderful complement to sun salutations—they focus on side bending, put no weight on the hands, and work facing the long side of the mat, meaning they target the inner and outer lines of the hips in ways sun salutations can’t. You’ll find them in my Athlete’s Pocket Guide to Yoga, and now on YogaVibes, where I break down the sequence for teachers or anyone interested in…

A Moon Salutation, Lunar Flow, or Chandra Namaskar, is basically the opposite of a Sun Salutation. Where the Sun Salutation brings heat and energy into the body, the Moon Salutation brings calm and relaxation.

A Moon Salutation, Lunar Flow, or Chandra Namaskar, is basically the opposite of a Sun Salutation. Where the Sun Salutation brings heat and energy into the body, the Moon Salutation brings calm and relaxation. The Lunar Flow provides a counter balance to the Sun Salutation and is often done at the end of an evening Yoga asana session. Moon Salutations are often practiced at night – when you want to unwind after a long day.
