This Thursday will bring the last full moon of the decade and you absolutely cannot miss this one. Participate in one of these fun activities that will showcase the full moon in all its glory.

Take it easy with a yoga session to ring in the full moon. Here is your chance to reflect and reconnect with nature while the full moon rises. Full Moon Yoga offers monthly events during the summer combining yoga and nature. The 75-minute yoga session will include various yoga styles like Vinyasa, Kundalini, Yin and Hatha Yoga and some meditation that will leave you feeling centered, happy and connected.
The session is open to people of all yoga levels. You will need a mat, water and warm clothes.

Non-organised events:
If you’re not one for large groups, why not plan your own mission with a few friends? Sometimes the best place to see the moon is on the beach. Grab a few friends and head out to your favourite beach like Clifton Fourth or Camps Bay beach and pack a picnic blanket and basket to camp out under the stars. This is a great bonding experience, and also allows you to reflect on the upcoming decade in peace.
You could also take a drive and park along Boyes Drive or Tafelberg Road for a beautiful spot to watch the supermoon. Pack some snacks, a blanket and head out with that special someone to enjoy this meaningful experience.
