How Luna Rhythms Yoga can support you through the New Moon In Aquarius
At Luna Rhythms, our unique system of yoga integrated with the lunar cycles and solar seasons teaches techniques from the ancient yogic practices of asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha and mantra in alignment with the energies of the day, season and cycle. This New Moon in the season of Imbolc is a reminder that it is first necessary to Ground, before you can Grow.
Bhumi Sparsha Mudra, or Earth Witness Gesture, is a hand position for connecting you in to the energies of the earth from which you can grow. In a comfortable seated position, place the open palm of your left hand on your lap in a gesture of receiving. Rest the inside of your right wrist over your right knee with your fingers lightly touching the earth or pointing towards the earth. In this mudra, your right hand serves as a lightning rod to ground the energy. Relax your fingers on both hands. With this deep and reverential connection, call upon the earth to witness and support you in grounding your intentions for the cycle ahead.
An energising pranayama practice for this time of year can be practiced either outside in connection with the earth and sky, or inside with meditative awareness. Within your breath, notice the flowering, uplifting, expansive energy of each inhalation. Observe the grounding, rooting, stabilizing energy of each exhalation. Notice how the in-breath holds the out-breath. Observe how the out-breath holds the in-breath.
Earth-Sky Pranayama is a beautiful standing practice that unites the flow of energy. If possible, practice this breath standing outside in the morning sun or at any time of day with your feet upon the Earth.
Stand in a wide Tadasana, grounded, at ease and with unlocked knees. Rest your awareness in the flow of your breath. Inhaling your arms up overhead, breathe in from Earth to Sky. Exhaling your arms back down to the sides, breathe out from Sky to Earth. On the inhalation, remember the Earth. Feel your connection down through your feet. On the exhalation, remember the Sky. Hold the skyward lift in your chest. Repeat several times with flowing movement in harmony with the breath. This breath creates an integration effect where one breath holds the other. The inhalation is naturally uplifting and the exhalation is naturally grounding.
By Grounding to Grow, you can set clear intentions and take practical steps for self-empowerment this New Moon.
Each season at Luna Rhythms Yoga we practice a range of different techniques from the yogic tradition that enable us to embody and integrate the energies of that season in powerful and positive ways. We work with the monthly and daily rhythms of the moon cycle to give subtle nuance to those techniques, ensuring that our practice is always in alignment with exactly what we need when we need it.
