Harness the power of the November full frost moon. The full moon is the perfect time to reflect on the previous lunar cycle and practice gratitude for all that we have manifested. Paired with a Yin yoga practice, a slower paced practice done seated or reclined. Yin is perfect for the winter season. It reminds us to slow down and go inward to cultivate a frosty yin energy. Poses are held on an average of 3 to 20 minutes depending on the level of the practitioner. While holding the yogi is encouraged to soften and relax into the posture, allowing the connective tissues (particularly in the joints) to stretch and release tension. Props are encouraged in this practice and modifications are offered to assist in finding your edge.
