Moon days
About
Traditionally astanga yoga isn’t taught on moon days (days when there is a full or a new moon), as the potential for injury is greater. Astanga Yoga London is closed on moon days. See below for a list of the moon days in 2024.

पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति ।
तदहं भक्त्युपहृतमश्नामि प्रयतात्मनः ॥ २६ ॥
patraṃ puṣpam phalaṃ toyaṃ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati
tad ahaṃ bhaktyupahṛtam aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ
A leaf, a flower, fruit or a sip of water offered with devotion to me
That from a loving open heart I accept
— Bhagavad Gītā 9.26
