To achieve this you may spend time in meditation, journaling and doing Sitali/Sitkari Pranayama. (Micheal Haupt, Masculine & Feminine, Left- & Right-Brained Thinking Compared). This side of the brain helps us to move into the “creative, delicate, intuitive, nurturing…surrendering, synthesizing, integrating, soft, feeling, and the part of us that “knows” without explanation”. The lunar is said to represent the divine feminine so during our lunar practice, we should move into the right brain or the more intuitive and subconscious parts of ourselves.
#Full moon yoga sequence how to#
During a full moon we can draw from these qualities to find inspiration on how to breath, move and meditate. Lunar qualities are reflection, intuition, introspection, femininity, receptivity and illumination. There is also a tendency to lose balance or injure oneself during this time if your practice is too fast paced. As the energy lifts, it is important to stay grounded so that we may be aware of the subconscious or spiritual parts of ourselves that emerge. We all experience the effect of the moon differently, however it is common for people to feel an elevation of energy. Three days prior, during and after a full moon the universal energy shifts. When in tune with the ebbs and flow of the lunar cycle, our yoga practice changes naturally. During a full moon we can harness the powerful lunar energies to take our practice to a deeper level and more easily achieve these goals. Yoga also allows us to find “The union of the individual soul with the universal Spirit…” B.K.S Iyengar (The Tree of Yoga).
Yoga allows us to remove barriers and blockages that we have built up both mentally, energetically and physically, as well as gain clarity of thought to begin to understand who we are and what we value. Practicing near a window where you can see the rising moon is a great option too!įind grounding, slow down, and offer up something new whether that be a new way of thinking, courage to try a new pose, or an open mind.A full moon is a beautiful time to spend in reflection noting what serves you and what does not, setting new sankalpas (heartfelt intentions) and partaking in a slower more meditative lunar yoga practice.
If you’d like to add to the experience try lighting a few candles. You’ll need your mat, two blocks, a calm space, and your computer. We all hold lunar and solar energies (masculine and feminine) and it’s our job to find the balance between the two. Peaking with Half-moon, it all comes back to connecting with the lunar energy that’s in all of us–male, female, non-binary. This class of repetitive poses will take you around your yoga mat in a new way, bringing forth new ways of thinking while having fun in your body. In this 60-minute yoga FLOW class, you’ll find grounding creativity. Tonight, as the moon shines fully, we share with you Alina Holkenson‘s Moon Salutation class. In this yoga FLOW class, you’ll experience cycles with a play on sun salutations, moon salutations. The moon, in all its cycles, reminds us that transformation is constant. It is the representation of the softer energy associated with the divine feminine. The moon is a representation of so much more than just astronomy.
