Moon Flow: A New Moon Yoga Practice
Join us for a 75-minute practice inspired by the quiet, receptive energy of the moon. Taking place the evening before the new moon, this class invites us to slow down, turn inward, and move in rhythm with the body and breath.
We’ll begin with Moon Salutations (Chandra Namaskar), a flowing and repetitive sequence traditionally associated with lunar energy. While the practice can gently build heat in the body, the steady repetition often creates a meditative rhythm, like waves moving back and forth with the tide. This rhythmic movement can help settle the nervous system, soften mental chatter, and invite the attention inward. Moon salutations are often practiced to cultivate receptivity, balance, ease, and reflection.
From there, we’ll transition into cooling pranayama (breathwork) practices designed to soothe and regulate the nervous system while deepening qualities often associated with lunar energy: nourishment, spaciousness, intuition, and renewal. We’ll close with a brief guided meditation and time to rest.
This practice is open to all levels, including beginners.
