Full Moon Prep Yoga Workshop

Full Moon Prep Yoga Workshop
Thursday, 9th of January, 6–7:30 PM at Koko Studio (next to Glasgow Central Station)

As we get older, we sometimes feel more sluggish or notice little discomforts creeping in, and it’s easy to feel a bit down. When we were younger, we could push through using our energy and willpower, but as time passes, it’s not always as easy. What many people don’t realize is that these changes can be connected to the moon’s cycles. When I was younger, I thought all of this was a bit too spiritual for me, but as I’ve aged, I’ve noticed how my body is more sensitive to these cycles, and it’s harder to ignore. I’ve also realized that by becoming aware of it and accepting these shifts, I’m better able to cope with them. Sometimes, when I feel down, I’ll even blame it on the full moon and just take a nap—it works wonders! But with all the daily demands—work, parenting, and life—it’s great to be able to relax and find some calm through yoga, right?

I tend to focus on opening my hips and reducing swelling around the full moon, as well as practicing poses that help with fatigue. So, I’ve planned this special session to include these poses, specifically designed to balance energy ahead of the full moon. Afterward, we’ll enjoy organic herbal tea together and chat about the full moon’s impact.

We’ll begin at 6 PM with a longer sequence that incorporates poses to harmonize with the moon’s strong energy, help manage emotions, balance hormones, and open the pelvis. I’m excited to share my experience from past Full Moon Circles, where I felt such positive energy, and I hope we can channel that same positive energy together. Yoga is a wonderful way to calm the mind, and having a relaxed conversation afterward is so soothing. I’d love for you to join us!
