Many of us yogis have heard of Sun Salutations, as a matter of fact, I teach them as one of the 8 topics I have in rotation for teaching.
Moon Salutes offer the same physical benefits of the Sun Salute stretching the entire body, increasing circulation into the heart, lungs and all the major organs, muscles and joints; toning all the major muscle groups and promoting spinal flexibility, rejuvenating the nervous system; and, preventing and treating arthritis by promoting the secretion of synovial fluid in the joints.
The big difference you will see is in the orientation of the flow. Sun Salutes are forward looking poses while Moon Salutes can be viewed as more of a peripheral flow. You have to try them!
These classes are held at New Paradigm Health Center located at 113 East Unaka, Johnson City 37601.
