A New Beginning in Virgo

The new moon in Virgo, a meticulous and analytical earth sign, offers a potent opportunity for renewal and growth. This luna phase invites us to turn inward, examine our habits, and cultivate a sense of order in our lives. Virgo is associated with health, service, and practical matters, making this a time to prioritize self-care, refine our routines, and contribute to the well-being of others.

It’s such a great time of the year to look at all this. We are just coming out of the summer holiday time, and it’s a natural time to want to start making positive changes in our self care routines and start really walking our talk. I don’t know about you, but I have all sorts of activities, and projects that I would like to implement , but when the day comes, there is always something “more important” getting in the way. NO MOERE !!! I want to walk my talk, and take things to the next level. How about you?

How Luna Rhythms Yoga can support you during this Virgo New Moon:

At Luna Rhythms, our unique system of yoga integrated with the luna 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 Virgo is the perfect time to deepen your commitment to your practice.

With a focus on the Solar Plexus, or Manipura Chakra, you are invited to connect with, strengthen, and cleanse your core.  Plank Pose is a balancing and strengthening posture that tones your core abdominal muscles through holding the position.  From uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend) place your hands beneath your shoulders and step back with both feet, toes grounded and heels high.  Your connection to the earth through your hands and feet is a two-way relationship – sinking your weight into the ground while feeling the resistance beneath you that creates core strength in your body.  Your torso and legs should be plank-like in this posture, a held straight line that’s aligned through your hips.  Abdominal strength will help you to resist bending or falling at the centre in this pose.

Plank Pose is integral to the Sun Salutation sequence, Surya Namaskar, so if you have a regular practice and are familiar with this vinyasa, now is a great time to practice it.  Giving thanks for the summer sun and re-igniting your inner fire for the darker, colder months to come. 

A gentler, but just as vitalising, dynamic practice is Head-to-Knee pose.  Lying on your back, bring one knee in to your chest while raising your head to meet it on an exhale.  Inhaling, replace your leg on the floor, and exhale to repeat on the other side.  Five to ten repetitions of this is great for cleansing your digestive system and toning your abdominal muscles!

Virgo’s New Moon invites you to return home to yourself.  To balance, cleanse and nurture yourself and to recommit to the practices that will nourish and ground you through the coming winter.

May Yoga Bring You Peace.

May you bravely venture into new territories and embrace the unknown with an open heart.

I am love, I am light, I am all that is divine and in this truth I live, and in this truth I live.
With All My Love
