Full Moon and MoreThe Full Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox. In two years out of three, the Harvest Moon comes in September, but in some years it occurs in October. At the peak of harvest, farmers can work late into the night by the light of this Moon. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice, the chief Indian staples are now ready for gathering.
Celebrate this Beautiful Full Moon this Sunday night at 6 pm with Beth Wadden, who teaches this all levels drop in yoga class with a delightful blend of mystery, history and magic. Each month around the time of the full moon, when Beth teaches these specialty classes, she weaves in the stories of the moon and the natural world with the compassionate practice of Kripalu Yoga.
$14.00 to drop in, or use your class card, or FREE for monthly members, no pre registration required. All Levels welcome.
