Each zodiac sign is traditionally associated with a different part of the body, beginning with Aries at the head and ending with Pisces at the feet. In this yoga series, we use the current astrological season and the rhythm of the moon to guide our practice. As the moon moves through the twelve signs of the zodiac during its roughly 28-day lunar cycle, each class brings focused awareness, movement, and intention to the body region connected to that sign. The lunar cycle is often seen as a reflection of natural rhythms of energy, rest, and renewal, inviting us to tune into subtle shifts in our bodies and practice with greater mindfulness. Over the course of the lunar cycle, we’ll explore and care for the whole body—honoring both cosmic movement and our own embodied experience on the mat.
Today’s Class:
Waning Gibbous in Sagittarius ♐︎
Sagittarius is associated with the hips and thighs in astrology as this fire sign is thought to govern mechanisms of locomotion, stride, mobility, and forward movement. When the moon moves through Sagittarius, our practice focuses on creating energy for forward movement by supporting mobility in the hips and activation in the thighs. Classes will emphasize hip-opening movements and strengthening postures—such as squats and warrior poses—to help release stored energy in the sacral chakra and cultivate a feeling of openness, stability, and adventurous movement.
