"Any time you practice new Moon yoga, it's an invitation to channel the energy of the lunar cycle's beginning phase. Each month, the Moon provides space for a natural reset and supports you in clearing your mind and allowing new thoughts, vibes, and feelings to enter your personal universe. This grounding yoga flow channels energy upward toward the third eye to support insight and intention."
"Supported Fish Pose Place one block beneath your upper back between your shoulder blades and the second block beneath your head, adjusting them to whatever level works best for you. Your heart should be elevated toward the sky in Supported Fish Pose. Let your arms fall by your sides, palms facing upward. You can choose to leave your legs long or bring the soles of your feet together to touch and release your knees out to the sides. Stay here for 1 minute."
"With an inhalation, draw your left elbow up toward the sky and back in space to open into a twist as you release your left shoulder toward the mat. Exhale to bring your left elbow back toward your right, closing the heart space. Repeat for a total of 5 repetitions, moving with the pace of your breath. Reclined Twist With your final inhalation, extend both arms straight out from the shoulders and remain in a Reclined Twist. Stay here fro 5 cycles of breath."
New Moon yoga invites channeling the lunar cycle's beginning phase to support mental reset and welcome new thoughts, feelings, and intentions. The flow grounds energy while directing it upward toward the third eye to foster insight and clarity. A fifteen-minute practice uses two blocks for support through poses that open the heart and spine, including Supported Fish Pose with blocks under the upper back and head, a Dynamic Heart Opener performed in a fetal side position with twisting repetitions, a Reclined Twist held for five breaths, and a Dynamic Pencil Stretch to follow the untwist.
