Moon days

Moon days... They're a big thing in Asthanga Yoga and people have always asked me why are you not meant to practice on moon days? And exactly what does it mean? And I have always mumbled an answer along the lines of 'it's a time of the month when energy levels are either high or low, which could interfere with your practice and very often your body will be more sensitive, and practicing yoga at that time could hence cause injuries'. Well I know that's not an accurate answer at all, but I've found it hard to describe exactly why and what they are. Here's my easy answer- Tim Miller's website, with a nice list of the upcoming moon days for the year:
