THE MOON & I

Luna, Selene, Chandra, Moon…..Just some of the names given to the iridescent pearl floating in the inky black night sky.

Revered and worshipped through the millennia, the moon in many cultures (although not all) is depicted as a feminine energy. This feminine energy is experienced as yin, which is reflected through softer, cooler, darker energies, allowing us to flow with nature and our intrinsic cycles. Her energy enables us to be, to receive, to ebb and flow with emotions and to surrender.

Over the 29.5 days of the Moons cycle. she will traverse through different phases from new to full . Each phase, emitting a different energy, power and insight.

Similarly, a woman will traverse through different phases, phyiscally and emotionally through the month and it is perhaps no coincidence that the cycle of the moon iand our menstrual cycle are so closely matched. Each phase, a different hormonal ebb and flow. Each shift equally powerful, potent and imbued with insight , if we choose to lean in and feel. Of interest, it is said that in the past we would be in sync with the moon, bleeding on a new moon, ovulating when the moon was full and at her most powerful.

It matters not if you have a cylce, are peri to post menopausal, or have never had a  cycle. Tapping into the moons beautiful energy and the distinct phases of her cycle will help harness a deeper understanding of these feminine, yin, potent energies and the female archetypes associated with her phases so as we may live a life with increased harmony, balance and vitality, in both the cycles within and around us.

Each week, our practice, will explore the 4 main phases of the moon (new, waxing, full and waining) with mindful sequencing of yoga asanas, breathing practices and mudras, referencing her energy, our hormonal landscape, season and archetype.

A Beautiful, Powerful, Compelling Synchronicity of how we are reflected in her, and her within us.
