A Word on Accuracy
The exact dates and times of the Moon Days can vary slightly depending on your geographic location. This is because the phases of the moon, such as the new moon and full moon, occur at specific universal times (Specifically UTC, which matches with GMT). Depending on your time zone, a full or new moon might happen on a different day than in another part of the world!
In Ashtanga Yoga, many practitioners follow Moon Days based on their local time zone, so it's important to check a moon phase calendar specific to your region if you want precise dates - sites like timeanddate.com or apps that track the phases of the Moon can help you stay in sync with your local moon cycles.

As Yoga Rose is based in Glasgow, Scotland, please note that these Moon Days are based on the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) zone, which means they should align with most locations close to the UK, or regions in Europe and Western Africa, with only minor adjustments depending on time zones. If you're in a different time zone, especially in regions like North America, Asia, or Australia, the new or full moon could fall on a different day locally.
