Join Emily on a journey to reflect on different aspects of our lives at different times in relation to the moon phases.
Understand how the energy of the lunar movement interacts with our own energy and the energy around us - from the tides of the sea, our emotions, the choices we make, the way we behave, the way nature attunes to the moon.
Knowing when to rest, when to hold back, when to take time to pause and reflect, and then when is the best to expand, to create, to harness your energy, to manifest can offer a powerful and ancient connection to your innate wisdom and to your true wild nature.
With Lunar Yoga you will explore how the new and full moon offer different gifts and how you can align yourself to feel more connected with the ebb and flow of life, to understand more deeply what you need and when, and how to harness the power of the moon to enhance your everyday life.
Expect specific yoga sequences and movements that complement the energy of the moon phase, time for reflection and journaling, visualisation meditations and more.
These sessions are open to all abilities with options given for all yoga poses as well as a chair option if needed.
Workshop dates & details:

Full Moon in Aries
Bold, fiery, powerful.
Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and element of fire. Whether your zodiac is Aries or not, this time can highlight where you are out of alignment, what needs clearing and what your soul’s calling is. Things might feel highly emotional, you might experience frustration or perhaps clarity - these are all ways that the full moon and Aries energy is helping you gain insight and clarity and how to take action.
This full moon is the perfect time to get clear on your needs, what you want and what your true dharma is.
Through yang yoga movement and yin yoga holds, meditation and journaling you will be able to tap into the energy of the full moon and the qualities of Aries, channelling the courage needed to release what stands in your way, to move past limiting beliefs and take aligned action to bring you to your soul's path.
14/10 - Sat - 5.30 - 7.30pm
New Moon in Libra
Balance, truth, wisdom of the heart
The new moon offers a time for new beginnings and with Libra being all about balance this new moon highlights the importance of self-nurture. As we nurture the body, we will also nurture the mind by connecting to your hopes and dreams and setting intentions for the autumn.
Through yin yoga with meditations throughout the practice, you will have space to nurture and nourish your body while contemplating what it is you want to achieve. We will then create a vision board for any hopes or dreams that you connected to during your practice giving you a clear path for the next 3 months until the traditional year closes.
21/10 - Sat - 5.30-7.30pm
Full Moon in Taurus
Truth, security, love.
Get grounded this full moon with the rooted energy of Taurus. As we spend time in yin poses you will find space to let yourself connect with and process your emotions, time to slow down and create a feeling of safety and security within. This Taurus full moon can bring insecurities to the surface, making this a good time to work on accepting both your light and your shadows, helping you release your fears and to create a strong foundation from where you can feel safe to express your vulnerabilities and show up authentically as yourself in your life.
In this session you will experience yin yoga, deep relaxation and meditation, journaling and create your own affirmations.
12/11 - Sun - 2-4pm
New Moon in Scorpio
Emotion, power, transformation
This new moon offers a time for growth and self acceptance, letting yourself feel the feelings and in doing so transform your beliefs into ones that support you. With Pluto being the ruler of Scorpio, the planet of death and rebirth this energy will help you overcome blocks that have been in your way, keeping you stuck and give you the courage to tap into your emotions and see these as intuitive nudges to bring you into your full power.
In this session you will learn how to move with your intuition while opening your heart centre for self compassion and empowerment, we will work with a deep relaxation and meditation to further your journey of emotional intelligence and intuition finishing with time spent on uncovering blocks and messages from within through oracle cards and journaling.
26/11 - Sun - 2-4pm
Full Moon in Gemini
Inquisitive, inspired, curious.
You may notice uncertainty or self doubt at this time as we enter the full moon in the sign of Gemini. A sign that asks questions, has a thirst for knowledge and thrives on communication. The full moon highlights the time in the month for what needs to be released, and in this particular sign making decisions can feel challenging, however understanding the confusion you may be experiencing can be the way in which you can find the real truth, the golden nuggets of where you really want to be.
In this workshop I will teach you how to harness the power of the Gemini full moon to find clarity in the confusion, to find those nuggets of gold inspiration and to release any criticisms helping you move forward with trust, truth and an openness to possibility.
Expect flow yoga with grounding elements to balance the airy quality of Gemini, mind mapping and meditation.
