Saturday is ruled by Saturn. This day we have a
lower level of energy than the rest of the week,
and we should use this energy wisely. A mild
practice is, of course, acceptable, but pushing
ourselves too hard, we simply drain our
energy.
In fact, all the days of the week are ruled by
different planets. Each planet brings its own
energy. So, if you want to be creative in your
practice, you can make some adjustments to
your core practice following the energies
prevailing on a given day.
For example, Monday is the day of the Moon.
Moon is associated with the water element and
with feminine qualities. Mondays could be
used for Flexibility asanas, Hip Openers,
Forward Folding. We could bring in more
Seated poses and, perhaps, finish with a
seated meditation concentrating on the point
between the eyebrows, i.e., the place where
our inner Moon abides.
Tuesday is the day ruled by Mars, the God of
wars. To calm down, reduce aggression, and
eliminate the conflicts with those around,
active practice is recommended. Standing
asanas, Warrior poses, and Sun Salutations
