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…

If you’ve done my Parking Lot Yoga sequences, you know you don’t need a mat to gain yoga’s benefits of strength, flexibility, focus, and balance.

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…
