New Moon Yoga

New Moon Yoga- Thursday Jan 11 | 730pm

The new moon, is a more passive, quiet, ‘yin’ time of the month. It is the darkest time of the month because the moon is between the earth and the sun. With the sun shining behind the earth we only see a little sliver of her. This sliver begins to grow fuller as the moon begins to orbit back to the other side of the earth.

The lunar cycle from one new moon to the next is about 28 days, with new moon to full moon happening in 14 days. The new moon is considered to be the beginning of the lunar cycle. This is why a common new moon practice is to set new intentions with the hope that, with focus, time and energy, by the time of the full moon these intentions will come to fruition. Journaling and writing down our new intentions helps us to commit to them and map out the necessary steps towards achieving them.
