There is a specific flow of yoga poses called a 'moon salutation' or 'chandra namaskar' in Sanskrit which I like to perform during the week of a full moon. This flow is different to the more linear sun salutation flow (surya namaskar) which builds heat. It is a slower, cooler practise incorporating poses such as triangle pose, pyramid pose and garland pose.
