Traditionally, Ashtanga yoga practitioners rest on new and full moon days. These rest days are in addition to the weekly rest day. You can read more about why here

I don’t teach Mysore every day, and I’m aware that many of my students are unable to practice six days a week. For this reason, I still teach on moon days.

I will gladly support you in a restorative practice, and I equally respect your innate wisdom to honor what your body needs.
