Life moves in cycles.
And humans are cyclical beings. Our bodies are designed to follow a natural ebb and flow throughout the month and across the seasons and the years.
The linear approach and stressors of modern society can cause depletion, as we constantly operate from a place of doing and giving.
Ancient wisdom traditions such as the vedic sciences (of which yoga is a part) were attuned to natural rhythms. Sadly, even the evolution of yoga in the West has resulted in a lessened connection to the macrocosm, which reflects our microcosm.
The phases of the moon happen to match the menstrual cycle in length and nature. With the moon as muse, a lunar practice can guide you back to deep attunement with your natural rhythm.
Benefits of practising in alignment with natural cycles can include:
Supporting regulation of the menstrual cycle
Improved pelvic awareness and health
Heightened creativity and productivity
Increased energy (at appropriate times of the month and year)
Improved self-esteem and body image
Reduction in stress and anxiety levels
Supporting fertility treatments and therapies
Supporting the transition through pre-menopause, menopause and beyond
Honour your divine feminine by practising in alignment with the phases of the moon and steady your divine masculine through a practise aligned to our annual transit around the sun.
