Welcome to Moonshine
Your guide to creating a moon-powered yoga practice
If the moon can power the tides, then how does it affect the human body—which is 60% water—as it waxes and wanes? This is where my curiosity about the effects of the moon’s energy started. After years of connecting my own yoga practice to the cycles of the moon and noticing an increase in self-awareness and personal power, I began to incorporate what I was learning into the yoga classes I teach.
A lot of research goes into creating a moon-centered yoga class and a the limitations of a one hour asana-focused class means that much of the depth of that research remains in my notes and journal entries. My hope is that the newsletter platform will help me share a more nuanced awareness of the moon’s energy.
A second goal of the Moonshine Yoga newsletter is a way to keep in touch with my Northern Nevada and New York City yoga communities. For the last year, I have been splitting time living (and teaching) between two coasts and I love the idea of bringing you all together in one space.
Welcome to what will be a bi-monthly yoga newsletter connecting the 8-limbed yoga path to the phases of the moon. Each issue will not only offer yoga poses or asanas to align your practice with the moon’s energy, but will also highlight each limb of the yoga ladder that leads to the harmonious state of samadhi.
