The Harvest Moon on September 18 🌕Here’s how you might incorporate the energy of this full moon into your yoga routine:
Reflection and Meditation: This full moon period is ideal for introspection. Consider incorporating meditation into your yoga practice to reflect on what you’ve accomplished and what you wish to achieve. Focus on gratitude and setting intentions for the future.
Grounding and Balance: The Harvest Moon’s energy can be grounding and stabilizing. Practices that emphasize grounding and balance, such as standing poses and balance poses (like Tree Pose or Warrior III), can help you feel more centered and connected.
Restorative Practices: Given that full moons can heighten emotions, it might be beneficial to include restorative or gentle yoga practices in your routine. Poses like Child’s Pose, Legs Up the Wall, or supported forward bends can help calm the nervous system and promote relaxation.
Opening and Releasing: Use this time to focus on poses that open and release tension, particularly in the hips and shoulders. These areas can hold emotional stress, and poses such as Pigeon Pose, Reclining Bound Angle Pose, or seated forward bends can help release built-up emotions and promote a sense of emotional clarity.
Journaling and Yoga: Integrate journaling into your yoga practice. After your session, spend some time writing about your reflections, intentions, or any insights that emerged during your practice. This can help deepen your connection with the themes of the full moon.
Connection with Nature: Since the Harvest Moon is associated with the natural world and the harvest, consider practicing yoga outdoors or in a space that allows you to connect with nature. This can enhance the sense of grounding and connection with the earth.
Incorporating these aspects into your yoga practice during the full moon can help you harness its energy in a positive and meaningful way.
