Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hello to all, and to all the South Americans in the group, I will be in Peru until August, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any teachers in the area. None listed at ashtanga.com. I will be travelling a fair amount, so I was also hoping to find anyone who would be interested in meeting and practising for a few days at some point. I will be mostly in Peru and Colombia, and possibly in Brazil but I am open to seeing any part of South America! Saludos y namaste, Eleanor ashtanga yoga wrote: There are 6 messages in this issue.

I have always thought the New/Full Moon Days prohibition was to give men 2 days off a month for their bodies to rest and recover. Otherwise, they are practicing 365 days/year with no break. Women can't practice when they menstruate, so they have a few days off per month but men otherwise wouldn't have any days off. Using the moon is a convenience, I always thought. I have never heard anything about it being related to the lunar gravitational effects on water but, that could have entered into the decision. I don't suppose there is any way to find out for sure. As a woman, I ignore moon days because I already have period days when I can't practice.

I've been practising hatha yoga for about a year or so, and (I think) am reasonably fit (I run about 5km in the gym 3 times a week). Just finished an ashtanga introductory course but am wondering whether to continue. To be honest, I like it a lot because it's more dynamic than the usual hatha yoga but am wondering if it's a bad idea (possible injury alert?) for someone with only a year of hatha yoga experience to continue with this. I spoke with my hatha teacher and she advised against it because of possible injuries from not knowing the correct alignment of certain poses. I do agree with her that I can't do all the poses with the correct alignment at this point in time. I also have a lot of problems with chatarunga (sp?) and the vinyasas (particularly the jump backs) - basically I was a runner in school and have never done any sports that trains the arms (therefore, pathetic arm strength). Any thoughts on this? I bought David Swenson's book, where he's so terribly encouraging and offers so many modifications to the poses. He's obviously a believer that ashtanga yoga can be done by anyone safely with modifications - but just wondering how you all realized that you were ready to try ashtanga/decide that ashtanga was the only form of yoga for you? Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere - did try shifting through the old posts but couldn't locate any question like this. Let me know if this has been discussed in another post. Many thanks! ______________________ ______________________ Message: 6 Wed, 09 Jun 2004 14:10:45 -0000 "Jeff" Re: Full Moon Hi, The moon causing gravitational effects on human is a myth. There are no tides in the human body because the water at different locations within the body is still at the same distance from Moon, so no difference in gravitational pull exists. Thus, a full moon has no effect on balance whatsoever. This myth developed because of the effect of the moon on large bodies of water like oceans. Tides arise because of differences in the lunar gravitational pull at different points in the Earth. Remember, the gravitational force of the Moon decreases with the distance, so a rock on the side of Earth closest to the Moon feels slightly stronger gravitational pull than an identical rock at the Earth's center does, while yet another identical rock on the side of the Earth that faces away from the Moon feels slightly lesser gravitational pull than does the one at the Earth's center. These tiny differences in gravitational pull (involving relatively large distances) of the Moon are called tidal forces. No such relative large distances exist inside the human body and, thus, there is no gravitational effect and no loss of balance. regards, jeff ashtanga yoga, Obiageli Ozobu wrote: Several months ago I researched the "full moon - noashtanga rule". I learned that because the human bodyis approximately 78% water and the moon has an effecton water, a person's balance is thrown off. So, one can be more prone to injuring himself when trying to attempt balance poses. Or, injured while performing the rigorous asanas of ashtanga. Aditionally, my thought is that one can disrupt one's inner harmony when trying to attempt a balance pose when your balance is off. namaste. ______________________ ______________________ ------ ------ Friends.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Eleanor, If you decide to come to Brazil, just tell me. Brazil, as you know, is very big, almost the same size as US. Depending on where you plan to go, then maybe we can meet. I live in Rio de Janeiro. It´s a very beautiful place with lots of interesting things to do. You would realy like it!
