Open-air, riverside Full Moon Yoga debuts at Four Seasons Bali
The Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan is offering Full Moon Yoga on a river-edge, wooden platform surrounded by rice fields and the Sayan Valley forest.
Located on the banks of the Ayung River, the new Dharma Shanti River Terrace is an open-air venue designed to extend the resort’s wellbeing and yoga programmes with new classes. The Full Moon ‘Purnama’ Yoga takes place under the glow of the full moon.
Moon salutations are believed to cool down fiery impulses and ‘hot’ emotions, allowing creative energy to flow, the company said.
The first Full Moon Yoga took place 29 August, and the programmed continues at 7:30 p.m. on each full moon: 28 September, 27 October, 26 November and 25 December, when it coincides with Christmas Day.
“Every full moon, or ‘purnama,’ is a sacred day in Bali, when Balinese Hindus honour ancestral gods and thank them for their protection with offerings and ceremonies across the island,” said Luisa Anderson, regional spa director. “This is intended to counter negative forces and replenish our vital energy. Our new Full Moon Yoga programme is inspired by the uplifting energy of this important day on the Balinese calendar, enabling guests to honour the ‘yin,’ or divine feminine side, with Moon Salutations, to counter-balance the ‘yang,’ or masculine nature of classical Sun Salutations of day yoga.”
The resort also offers a series of international yoga masters-in-residence, with Summer Dien and Faye Riches bringing their own individual styles for guests over the next few months.
