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 Crescent in Aries ♈︎
As the first sign in the Zodiac beginning at the head, Aries is thought to symbolize leadership, drive, resilience, and robust forward momentum. When the moon moves through Aries, our practice emphasizes balance by noticing the importance of harnessing robust energy effectively but intentionally, ultimately safeguarding against impulsivity and burnout. This class will include a mix of fiery flows and steady shapes such as forward folds, Downward Dog, and warrior poses to channel Aries’ dynamic energy while encouraging focus, clarity, and balance.
