Monthly Full Moon Yin
Republic of Yoga
Cary, NC
Wednesday, February 16
6:30-7:45
The February Full Snow Moon takes place in the fire sign of Leo opposite the sun in Aquarius. This is a time to explore the idea of balance between our individual needs/wants/desires and those of the collective around us. A Yin practice during this time provides an opportunity for inquiry around what we want to create for ourselves and, at the same time, how we can contribute to the greater good.
Class will begin with a few minutes of mindfulness meditation to center the attention followed by instruction in Chandra Bhedana (moon piercing) pranayama; a gentle breathing practice to help shift your energy into the lunar/yin side of the body. Once centered and grounded in the lunar energy, the class will move into a Heart Meridian sequence, allowing for connection with our deepest desires. Class will conclude with a guided visualization full moon meditation, dropping you into a deep place of rest for Shavasana.
