Sacred Full Moon Yoga and Meditation
The full moon rises with its radiant light, casting shadows on the earth below. It brings with it a magical energy, that only this celestial event can bestow. As the orb grows round and bright in the sky, its energy flows and affects the tides. And just as it affects the ocean's might, the full moon can also alter our lives. With its powerful and mysterious pull, it stirs within us emotions untold. Our instincts are heightened, our desires full, as the full moon takes its toll. So when the night is bright with lunar glow, embrace its energy and let it flow. Use it to release and let it go, and allow its magic to overflow.
Lori will lead the group through yoga, teachings and meditation
Lori will guide the group through a Hatha yoga session incorporating Moon Salutations, a practice renowned for harnessing the energy of the full moon. Moon Salutations offer an excellent means to alleviate stress and anxiety, harmonize the mind and body's energies, boost flexibility, and fortify major muscle groups. After the yoga session, Lori will lead a meditation with chakra singing bowls aimed at facilitating the release of anything that no longer serves us and fostering gratitude for our blessings. By making room through letting go, we can embrace the beauty of gratitude as a practice.

New Moon Yoga & Meditation
In the velvety embrace of twilight, the world hushed with anticipation as the heavens unveiled their celestial spectacle. Cloaked in an obsidian shroud, the new moon emerged from its hidden slumber, casting a bewitching spell upon the night sky. Bathed in a delicate luminescence, the celestial orb weaved a tapestry of enchantment, scattering stardust across the dark expanse. It whispered secrets to the universe, its presence awakening dormant dreams and dormant hopes, inspiring hearts to embrace the unknown. Like a mystical key, the new moon unlocked doorways to forgotten realms, inviting souls to embark on ethereal journeys of self-discovery. With each gentle phase, it promised renewal and rebirth, a cosmic dance where infinite possibilities unfurled. And as its silvery glow brushed against the Earth, a sense of wonder ignited, kindling the magic within every living being. In this celestial ballet, the new moon whispered promises of wonder, urging humanity to believe in the enchantment that lies within and embrace the mystical power of the unknown.
Lori will lead the group through yoga, teachings and meditation with chakra singing bowls
Lori will be leading the group through an active restorative hatha yoga routine. It is a great yoga routine to do around a New Moon because one tends to have a lower energy & needs to slow down & rejuvenate. I find this very cool because this is also what the moon is doing too. We are mirroring the moon. The moon darkens her light to re-charge, and in doing so encourages us to mirror her by decreasing her outward expression. It is an opportunity to fill the space with new beginnings by setting intentions. Our concentration will revolve around turning attention towards the inner self, fostering introspection through the practice of forward folds. This approach will lay the groundwork for cultivating and sowing our intentions later, during the meditation.

Full Moon Meditation & Sound Bath Classes
Meditation is a practice that has been around for thousands of years and is known for its numerous benefits for mental and physical health. Meditation involves training the mind to focus on the present moment and to let go of distracting thoughts and emotions. It can be done in various forms, such as mindfulness meditation, guided meditation, or transcendental meditation. During meditation, one can sit or lie down in a quiet and comfortable place and focus on their breath or a particular object. Meditation has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, improve concentration and focus, increase feelings of well-being and happiness, and even lower blood pressure and strengthen the immune system. Regular practice of meditation can help individuals to cultivate a sense of inner peace and calm, and to develop a more positive outlook on life.
Lori will lead the group through a bit of full moon teachings, followed by a time of meditation with chakra singing bowls.
